PRESS RELEASE: EXCLUSIVE QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT iHEARTRADIO PERFORMANCE, BURBANK

iHeartRadio show

CLEAR CHANNEL PRESENTS EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE WITH
QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT AS PART OF THE IHEARTRADIO LIVE SERIES AT THE IHEARTRADIO THEATER LOS ANGELES

Great news! This is going to start with a soundboard quality recording. I´m assuming there will be some cameras there too.

By the way, let´s hope someone records the documentary on Australian TV next sunday.

Here´s the link:

It looks very interesting.

I'm guessing the 'wear purple' campaign is an homage to Queen - rock royalty. The expression 'born to the purple' came about in medieval times for royal or noble families because the plants and minerals required to make a purple dye were very hard to come by and therefore very expensive. Living in Minnesota, I have a plethora of purple stuff (the Vikings' colors are gold and purple and they were once parodied in a song as the purple people eaters) but I doubt I'll wear anything related to a sports team ;>

Wow..... Adam Lambert's voice sounds flawless... Crazy Amaze. #queen #AdamLambert #rehearsaltweet

I believe she's one of the makeup/stylist people for QAL.

It's good to hear that things are going well because this week must be a very heavy and concentrated rehearsal schedule!

Yes, that sounds very encouraging and I hope HIS reaction to Adam's voice is going to be the consensus at these concerts! I hope he blows everyone away!

Those who don't like the Q+ projects will be adamantly opposed to the + no matter what, but in order to appear objective will simply claim he doesn't work well with Queen in an attempt to get under the skin of the more sensitive fans. Get used to it, it's going to happen. On the other hand, who cares? The arenas are sold out and the vast majority of attendees - most of whom would never seek out an online fan forum, are going to have a ball, and that's all that matters.

This is why Brian and Roger keep asking Adam to perform with them, despite the fact that a few of their hardcore fans don't approve. They've got marketing people and have figured out that the demand is due to a whole bunch of people that don't belong to the vocal minority yelling on social media. It's a done deal now, and the numbers speak for themselves. If you think you'll get all raves on a Queen site, or an idolbert site, it ain't gonna happen. Just like idolberts, fans have their special snowflakes and feel that to support someone else is to downgrade that flake. It doesn't make sense, but it happens all the time.

Just enjoy the heck out of the great experience, and watch for the next opportunity, because I'm betting more will appear with all the positive press on this tour, and all the positive media critiques on their past joint performances. And more importantly, it seems obvious that Brian and Roger intend to go out with a bang, and not a whimper, which bodes well for future projects.

I'm not holding my breath that the hardcore Queen fans are ever going to accept Adam, but if the reviews of the early shows are really good, it would be very interesting if some of them decide to buy some last minute tickets from the ticket brokers. If they don't, so be it -- it won't take anything away from MY enjoyment of the show, that's for sure!

Yes, someone posted on another site that ticket sales are over $69 million in the USA!

Hi guys, this is my first post here!

I'm so excited about this tour. I've been waiting for Queen to return to the U.S. since I saw the Q + PR tour at the DCU Center in Worcester and the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia. What a thrill to be able to see Brian and Roger live again! :D
