I wonder how they are are getting on behind the scenes during this tour?

I've noticed on Brian's website, 90% to 100% of his tour photos are soley of the crowd or just himself. No mention of Roger, Adam, anyone else or their lives on the road. Even Adam's birthday passed without a word being said.

Bit strange is all. [/QUOTE]

I think Brian is just having a lot of fun with his latest toy,

And on Adam's birthday -- Brian led the entire Cologne audience in singing Happy Birthday to Adam. Here is the video.

There is no fire. There is no smoke. They really do seem to be having a great time working together.

Judging by one of Brian's early self filming stints, where he jumped on Adam as he arrived, and also went into Roger's dressing room, I'd say they're getting on fine.

If anything, I'd say that Adam's illness might have jolted them a tad, based on Roger and Brian putting out a joint press release stating their "disappointment" at the cancelled show and not wishing Adam well in that message. Probably nothing in it but it wasn't particularly well worded from that point of view. [/QUOTE]

The press release came from Queen and Adam Lambert -- not from Brian and Roger. Here is the intro....

"Queen and Adam Lambert have this afternoon reluctantly been forced to announce the cancellation of their sold out Brussels concert scheduled to take place tonight, Sunday February 8 at Palais 12, Brussels."

I think the primary purpose of this announcement was to inform fans that there would be no concert and it would not be rescheduled, and to announce that other shows would not be affected.

I'm referring to the other press release:

"Message From Roger and Brian:

We are shocked and disappointed to have had to cancel the concert in Brussels due to Adam contracting a serious bronchial infection. We would like to apologise to all of you who were going to make the effort to travel and come to our show. We appreciate your incredible and continued loyalty. Touring in winter is always a great strain on the human voice and we are doing all we can to make sure Adam recovers in time to complete our tour.

Our sincere apologies and good wishes to you all.

Roger Taylor and Brian May"[/QUOTE]

Oh I see, but that wasn't the press release -- that was a message from Roger and Brian to Queen fans posted on the Official Queen Fansite. Doesn't seem like the right place to post a get well message to Adam either.

Adam, Roger and Brian are traveling together. I think it is pretty certain that they just spoke to him personally.

If you've been watching ANY of the live footage, they are having more fun playing together than they have in about 35 years. If anything, it was pure business in the 80s, not now. They're doing it because they want to.[/QUOTE]

This^^^^

They look far more relaxed, and like they're enjoying things much more than The Magic Tour, The Works or Hot Space.

The interaction between the band members and BM's contact with the audience is probably better than it's ever been.

Many of you are missing an important point:
Brian and Roger are the ones making money in this tour. Adam is a hired gun and its very likely he receives a small amount of money and perhaps a very low % of every ticket sold.

If it wasn't of Adam, the earth couldn't live moments like this: (Ooohh english grammar, how I hate you sometimes)

You really don't believe that, do you?

I'm talking about that 'cause of Adam, they wouldn't be touring actually. And if they aren't actually touring, they aren't actually living those moments. That's not too hard to understand.

They can live those moments with Paul or any person which they can tour, but actually only Lambert (given that they wouldn't tour together without a lead singer).

Fair point, they could tour with anyone or go alone, but I see your reasoning.
