Adam is just the best interviewee lol. He has such a great personality, and such a great sense of humor, that he always makes them fun.

An interviewer does not have to be worried that Adam will not talk enough. Not by a long shot! Of course, he is also funny and smart and thoroughly engaging with just about everyone. Love that Dragon Attack segment! The Elmo jacket was so much fun and was perfect for Adam. And that exit with Brian on his arm was priceless. |

Great catch …and …thanks for posting. The breakdown is interesting to learn, now that the final leg of the Rhapsody tour has concluded. I think about and ponder about the rewards for the crew/staff and more so for the band members in terms of salary. Merchandise is always the “little” bonus. Lol! Googling only brings up vague concepts for what promoters/arenas charge for their cut of the pie. Huge costs for lighting /stage development production and construction are never really shared. Plus they changed parts of the stage/backdrops etc for this last leg of the Rhapsody Tour. The cost of moving this tour must have bern immense for the Asia, AU/NZ legs of the tour. Luckily the European tour could help average down those types of costs. Then there is the cost of food and accommodations …for such a large staff…who knows when meals and accommodations were provided and when they keep their own receipts for tax purposes. I remember when Adam was initially out on his GNT TOUR, and a band member was commenting one night ….he better get working on organizing his receipts for meals etc for taxes. Obviously some expenses fall personally to a band or crew person. So much depends on sales, contracts and budgets when an artist / group works to make a tour viable. A tour is sure complex. What I really would like to know…which is NONE of my business BUT still ponder….is the differential between Roger, Brian, and Adam. What the heck do the other 3 band mates earn? Do Adam and the Band get a salary per concert/or per sales? Brian and Roger bear the responsibility for managing with staff, and the business side of the Queen organization and a tour. (Queen company/John Deacon/Freddie beneficiaries get a cut. Lucky for many …Queen …is the gift that keeps on giving.) Adam’s comment re meeting Brian and Roger changed his life—— changed my life as a fan too! Never been “a registered fan” for anyone but Adam. 😆👍👌 first did |

The boy says, "My nails are Adam Lambert-like." pi beat me to it and now I can't figure out how to delete a post. I deleted mine, but for future reference, you can delete your posts by clicking on the gear icon located on the upper right hand corner where you will see a "delete post" option in the pull down menu. Right, I have done that before. I made the mistake of hitting the edit button and once you're there the gear box only lets you bookmark. Thank you for the reminder.  |

stampsgal I have wondered about some of those things too -- but mostly about how much money Adam gets! LOL A lot, I hope! That older Jessi Cruikshank interview that someone posted the other day was so cute. When she asked Adam how his life had changed and he said "more money." So true. It seems Adam has always had champagne tastes and now he has more than a beer budget!
