6.27.23 Adam News and Info

For what it's worth, I suspect the ship has sailed as far as touring with Xtina is concerned. But if it were to happen, I'd be fine with it. The cancelled tour had been an arena tour, so clearly the thought was the two of them, together, would be able to fill venues of that size - or at least do justice to them. As was stated earlier in the thread, as with any co-tour situation, the idea was that the whole would be greater than the sum of its parts. Xtina may not be on the radio these days, but she has a substantial catalogue of hits behind her and a reputation as an incredible vocalist, as does Adam (the "incredible vocalist" part, sadly not the "substantial catalogue of hits" part). The size of the venues Adam tours have pretty much stagnated since Glam Nation. Given his almost complete absence from radio for most of his career, or even from large streaming playlists, it's impressive he's able to maintain the venue size he has. But it seems clear at this point that, as valuable in countless ways as the Queen collaboration is, for the most part it hasn't gotten him into larger venues as a solo artist - although it has probably helped keep him in his usual venues. Yes, Adam plays arenas and stadiums with Queen, but he's singing their music. I suspect he'd like the chance to tour larger venues with his own music as well. He was born to be an arena artist, IMO. I bet the press would have been hyped at the combo of the two of them. But whether it would have worked out as planned, we'll probably never know.

So that vid was posted 13 years ago and he says at the end "In America I'm bigger than the Muffin Man"  If that isn't a full circle moment for the full-circle chart.
