Mszue, I think it is a judgement call on the part of the artists and their management, including Adam. Lorde at one point was convinced to cancel her concert in Israel. Adam and Queen performed there and so did Bieber. When Adam was invited to perform at the Maxidrum Rock Festival in Moscow many years ago, there were gay activists who did not want him to perform there because of the anti-gay climate. He did anyway. And one of the homophobic DJs, who had been making fun of him on the radio before, practically fell in love with him after he interviewed him. He said he didn't know he was so tall and handsome then took pictures with his arms around him. Even the press changed their tune after he performed. They said they thought he would be a "sissy" but admitted they were wrong and instead they found him to be a combination of Elvis and Guns N Roses. Of course this was Adam's first time performing in Russia and before he was with Queen and more widely known. And if Adam refused to perform any place that discriminates against gays, he probably couldn't perform anywhere, even in parts of the US. And when Adam performed in Malaysia, the government wanted assurances from him that he would keep it clean and dances covered up some. The religious fanatics wanted his show cancelled because of his sexuality. He toned it down some and gave a very nice concert to many fans who were thrilled to see him. Around that same time, Beyonce refused to tone down her show or alter her/dancers outfits some and instead pulled out and disappointed her fans in Malaysia. She was at a very different stage of her career and that was the choice she made.

None of those situations were anything like Saudi Arabia but artists often have decisions to make. I would trust Adam and team to take everything into consideration and make their best judgement.

It's on the Roku Channel..
