They don’t look as ridiculous as The Rolling Stones, ages 71 to 77.

Paul McCartney still tours at age 76 and Elton at age 71.
Do they need the money?

Rockchic The Queen+ project has not really come to anything it is merely Queen circling the globe with one lucky guy who gets to sing Queen music for a living and that is it.
It is not much importance to anyone really, just a money spinner for greedy May & Taylor.
Queen's best days are long gone and here we have a skeleton of a group on the bones of there arse desperate for the limelight and not retiring gracefully.
Freddie did say from 60+ Queen would look ridiculous touring and here we have May & Taylor doing just that!
Queen+ is a waste of time and money.[/QUOTE]
Freddie actually said HE would look rediculous. . .
Believe me if they were doing this for money they would spend the amounts they are on such an expensive production and the costs involved in transporting and setting up the show. 22 trucks on an arena tour is massive and expensive. They could tour with a show half the size which would not incure the expense and put more money in their bank accounts.
Yes they are making a killing but they could make more and what really drives these tours is the enjoyment of playing.
Somehow I don't think they have lost millions of Queen fans. I think they have gained many millions of new fans who are thrilled to see them each tour. You know, at one point Freddie was a nobody who they took on. He wasn't the great Freddie the first day. He evolved into the star that he later became. Adam had evolved in his singing and his stage persona over the last 6 years. If you read reviews (other than Queen boards, where they are predisposed not to like QAL), there are thousands and thousands of positive reviews. Many are from old Queen fans who say they were not on board with this, but after seeing them, love the show. Should Caroline start posting all the reviews from former die hard Queen fans?? It is hard to evaluate from seeing it online. The pics aren't the best and somehow Adam's voice sounds way different in the venue than recorded. Since he has such a wide range it is hard to record due to the compression (I think) which changes depending on the octaves, so where it might sound wonderful for part, it isn't quite right when he goes up in stratosphere. He really doesn't have a thin voice. It rings throughout whatever venue he sings in. I am not just saying that, it really is true. That is why Adam fiddles with his ear phones a lot because he knows the sound isn't right. He puts on a dynamite show along with Brian and Roger and the other guys and I would bet 95% or more of the fans in the audience are very satisfied. You hardly ever read a review from someone who was ACTUALLY AT THE SHOW who said that it sucked. Even the critics are pretty much effusive nowadays with the show. Mel B and die hard Queen fans who haven't been to a show aren't much to base your negative opinion on.

@Brancelli, if you see this, can I message you? Hoping you will see this. It's absolutely understandable if you say no.

Again you delusional moron do everything to put Freddie Down while bigging the talentfree ladyboy up. Yeah Freddie was a nobody but I got news for you: Lamebird still is a nobody even after the QAL hype. Noone is going to a QAL Show because of him except a few freaks like the 3 of you on here. His new song has flopped again. And you obviously spoke to the "millions of die hard Queen fans" who are Lamebird addicts now i guess???
Noone gives a shit about him. If you read the FB comments on sites like Classic Rock Blabbermouth etc after the Oscars they got flack from almost anyone. Mostly for Lambert turning Queen songs into lame cabaret Versions as his girl voice has no power and grit at all. And yeah right he Sounds thin on recordings because of the recording equipment. Lol. How delusional can you get???
Wow, just entered and entered this at 47 as well - https://www.billboard.com/charts/social-50
Wasn't expecting it to enter any of the charts since it's not an official single and hasn't had promo and isn't being sent to radio. I have noticed quite a few independent radio stations have been posting it on their twitter feed and playing it, seems to have resonated with lots of people.

Has to be said Lambert is horse shit, he has got a razor thin sharp thin voice and it has no style about it.
"Runner" is correct Lambert has had a lot of bad reviews on social media, one girl says " He cant even sing on key" then another says " no one better than Freddie" at last the public realise he is a gimmick, and gimmicks do not last forever as people get bored with them. Lambert is not creative in any shape or form, he just sings Queen songs for a living, how sad is that!
He is like the cheesy Jane Mcdonald over here who sings artists songs for a living, nothing special in that.
Behind all the glitter and eyeliner is a very unstable insecure homosexual man who knows he is an alien to Queen fans hence all his depression, anxiety, panic attacks, its only because he knows he is ripping fans off.

Lots of people say no one better than Freddie, I wouldn't expect anything different and Adam's the first to say the same, he doesn't compare himself with him or expect anyone else to. You're wrong about not being creative and just because he likes to play with Queen doesn't mean he's giving up his own career, he's done plenty things solo and will be releasing new solo music soon as well. You should be glad he does that, if he were the type of person you think he'd be churning out Queen covers on his Youtube channel and he'd be doing well out of them judging by how many people ask him to cover Queen songs. He doesn't rip anyone off, no one is being fooled and there's enough vids on Youtube that anyone considering seeing them live and paying for tickets can check them out first, hell there's probably more live vids of QAL and Adam solo than other bands due to Adam's fans recording everything he ever does.
No idea where you get the idea he has anxiety or panic attacks, he's never mentioned either of those things and depression can happen to anyone when things are out of your control or even for no outside reason. He went through a bit of a bad patch due to some personal stuff same as a lot of people, lets not make it into some major thing that it wasn't.
