Sugaree...all the best to your mom and you!
Regarding Adam's voice and Jezebel concert:
If I recall right, the concert was at the end of a day of interviews (with acoustic performances) throughout the day. And Atlanta was right after Dallas, right?
So, he had a flight (DRY air treatment), then hotel, then radio station after radio station, then a few hours rest in dry air W-hotel and then performance. That is a strain on the vocals and he probably just needed to breathe some humid air for a while (humidifier, steam-bath, whatever), drink tea instead of alcohol and rest. Sounds reasonable to me and not anything that would make me have concerns. Just Adam taking care of himself and missing out of socializing. This trip is big time work for him, it may be a party and fun for everyone else, but for him it is challenging in so many ways.
I am not a singer, but I know that when I was traveling a lot and if I was in hotels that were really hermetically closed and did not get out much, my voice started to suffer and I needed to only speak during the day, not sing. Many of those hotels have indoor circulating air that is not much better than what the airplanes have. Of course they can exchange with outside air, but in a big hotel your room is a long way off from the last time the air you are breathing has seen anything outside. It is bone dry and really not good for you.
Having said that, from the few songs I have heard, I think Adam's second album is vocally much more challenging than his first. He will have to work all that out for touring. But he probably will start doing one off concerts after the Queen summer concerts are over and will start figuring all that out. I was interested to hear in one of the recent interviews that Adam is looking forward to bigger venues to sing in. Hope his album sales are such that he will get such a tour with a corresponding budget this time. Less venues and therefore less concerts in a row and more people per concert. Not as close an experience for us, but the next step up for him.

Fallenangel, thanks for your explanation. That is pretty amazing given the background story you have given us.
And wonderful welcome to kay!
