Looks like it's just going to be the two of us, you bring the tea and I'll organise the ham sandwiches.

Well... If they'll do a concert in Western Europe, I'll be there too!

What shall I bring?

Well, the tea and sandwiches are sorted and Andy is going to bring some nice cakes, might I suggest a nice  bottle of Australian Shiraz?

Good timing. I'm moving to New York in a few weeks' time. Anywhere on Northeastern U.S.A. and i'll be there!

I wish they would downplay the Adam Lambert component but it seems unlikely. For some reason, Brian thinks everybody in the U.S. loves Adam. I don't believe he's had any major commercial success as a solo artist (cue some Adam fan telling me his record went Gold in Nebraska, or something).

Also, what's this "Madison Square Garden event"?
If it's 3 days away, shouldn't we already have more details?

I'm not a sure a live show is an option as Sting and Paul Simon are playing shows on Tuesday and Thursday, there's a Rangers game on Wednesday and a Knicks game on Friday.

Also, I don't know if MSG is the place to simply have a press conference and annouce a tour...

Has to be a tour announcement, Lambert would not be there too for any other reason. Maybe they are announcing a few MSG only gigs like they did with The Hammersmith Apollo in 2012.

I haven't been to N.Y for 20 years but I might go if they play MSG.

We'll I'll go for tickets as well when announced. Would be amazing if they played Cleveland the weekend of July 25-27th (Breakthru event). How cool would that be!

Bullshit! All periods of Queen are great!!!! Past, present, and future!!!!

I guess my point is I haven't seen mention of this announcement in any Official outlet so far. Fingers crossed.

There's also the Theatre at Madison Square Garden (which is available this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday), and I'm guessing just the lobby of the theatre can be rented for a few hours in the afternoon even when there is a show scheduled for the night...

THAT sounds like an appropriate setting for an annoucement (or even a concert) of Queen+Adam Lambert.

appropriate, maybe but still too big a venue for an actual queen+AL concert.
suggest a more suitably-sized venue - phone-box?

No future without Freddie and about it can not be a speech.

Let's not be too hard on the guys... They couldn't possibly fit into a phone-box with their instruments, even if their entire audience would.

Wow, a shocking change of pace for you! I shall have to get to work on making the next speech on the future of post-Queen Freddie then!! :D

A broken record I am. The show will go on if Brian (and Roger) feel up to it.
