Several mentions regarding News of the world turning 40 this year.
Does anyone know whether there are any plans for a release to celebrate the 40th birthday of this iconic album?

Doubt it.
Touring with a loser from a reality programme is much more of a priority.

Hernansnow releasing a "40th anniversary" edition of the Earls Court and Houston concerts with his "surround sound" work is more likely than QPL releasing either one of them.

Even after five years of touring with "Queen" and establishing a solo career this still gets brought up.
What is laughable is that most of the people bringing this up usually go on to say Marc Martell should be fronting the band. Well didn't he come from a smaller. Internet video talent search. Yes he won but outside the Queen community who knew of him.
It doesn't matter where an artist comes from, what matters is whether what they are doing works. The audiences would seem to be proof this is working and the way the band feel about it is further proof.
Sure. The fact he's a loser from a reality programme doesn't detract from his talent. You can be both.
^^^ True!
The conversation will never go away. Either people like it or don't with AL fronting. Audience size means nothing and while the Glamberts help boost numbers, they are touring behind one of the greatest catalogues in music history, they'd draw numbers with virtually anyone fronting. AL doesn't have a husky rock voice or a rock soul, but if he can hit the high notes and do the ballads justice then people should be happy.
Can you define 'loser' Seb? You are very much one in your posts for factual statements, so to refer to Adam as this seems like a petty personal attack.
You may not like him, or BM & RT's decision to incite him to work with them - which is fine - but coming second on the biggest primetime US TV talent show, recording several million selling solo efforts, not to mention flying around the world in personal jets on tour whilst fronting Queen....are possibly not achievements that the address of 'loser' can seriously be aimed at?!?

I guess Sebastian's comment is what's commonly referred to as "tongue in cheek".
