He returned for the platinum jubilee — along with singer Adam Lambert — last year.
The “We Will Rock You” songwriter and “Bohemian Rhapsody” musician also teased to the prospect of touring with Queen again. The band, whose origin story was highlighted in the 2018 Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” has continued to tour with glam rocker Lambert in lieu of its late frontman Mercury. (May served as executive music producer on the Oscar-winning movie too.)
“We’re thinking about touring, I can say that,” he told PA. “I’m hoping I stay in good health — at the moment I seem to be in pretty good health, which is always great.”
May said that “it’s not been an easy road” and that there have been “times I thought I would never do it again.”
“But we all seem to be OK so we’re looking at doing some touring, and of course we tour at the top level and it’s very high energy and high demand on your fitness,” he explained. “If we don’t go out until October or whatever I’ll be working on my fitness from now on.”

YouTube has lost its "mind"  I got this auto-generated playlist proposal today - Adam would be surprised to see himself in the category "Heavy Metal"  Although after the "Enter Sandman" covers he did last year, it might not be exactly wrong... |

I think the quality of Adam's interviews has much improved over the years. Ironically though, Adam clearly did not like the "guy liner" talk and silly games of his earlier years as he wanted to talk about his music, and nowadays he gets to talk about his music when being interviewed, while freely giving make-up tutorials over on Tik Tok. I'm not much into that stuff, though I can appreciate the artistry behind it. I have noticed that myself. I think it is party because the interviewers have realized he is a real person, and a great interview. I somehow get the impression that Adam is not thrilled when make-up questions come up. I think there was a question at the Ritz interview where he kind of rolled his eyes. One thing I have also noticed is that many don't begin the interview with "openly gay" anymore. A sign of the times and inclusion I guess/hope. |

Looks like Adam will be home by the weekend (if, he is going home). Going by past trips we may not hear from him for awhile until he "re-groups." I am wondering if that private event might have been a wedding. I read that particular island is kind of geared toward honeymooners.

Boy, Adam's house really has a revolving door. I hope everyone leaves when he gets home. |

I'm not much into that stuff, though I can appreciate the artistry behind it. The thing is, Adam was one of the very few gay guys at that time who WOULD actually talk about "gay stuff." I can't think of another gay singer at that time who actually talked about it when asked. I know he wanted to talk more about his music. But he was kind of a novelty to interviewers, because he was so open about being gay and was willing to respond to questions about it. He didn't say, "Wait! Stop! I don't want to talk about that!" or "That's private." He played along with some pretty tasteless jokes and questions. Once interviewers knew that he wouldn't shy away from questions, they kept asking them, and he often obliged. Now that the novelty has worn off, he is more in charge of the conversation and will bring up his sexuality when and how he wants to. Of course, topics about sexuality are very big right now politically, and he does not shy away from it. He's become an activist. But, yeah, those early days were different. He was a rare item when it came to openly discussing his sexuality. No other music artist was doing that, to my knowledge. And he did it with his natural good humor. |
