80% of income, sorry. Nearly 100% of his income these days is through Queen.
You better start thanking Freddie!

Adam’s new album... Freddie funded.
And Adam can’t dance.
I’ve actually seen more of his solo crap than Queen crap.

Have you ever heard of hair metal with the really high voices? Lots of rockers in there, dude. Not all rockers sound alike. Then there are other kinds of rockers, Think Arrowsmith, ACDC. There are a ton of rock bands with singers who have lighter, really high voices and those happen to be the kind I like best, not the baritones and not voices like Paul R. I happen to think Adam could fit in perfectly with a band like Avantasia. My son just saw them in Japan and said Adam would fit perfectly in that band. He has seen them many times all over the world. It is one of his fav bands and I have listened to a lot of their music. Adam's voice is suited for that type of rock. Certain songs of Queen sound better with a lighter, higher voice. The way PR sang them was a travesty, IMO, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I have gone to all three tours of QAL and the concert goers are most def. not all Queen fans, at least not here on the East Coast of America. There are many, many, many Adam fans of all ages. I was probably the oldest person in any of the front section. The fans are younger for both Adam and QAL, which is a great thing for everyone involved.
Your idea of how rockers sing isn't Adam's idea of how it is done and that is why Brian and Roger chose him. They wanted something different than a MM, they wanted a singer that could sing anything from their catalog. He is not Freddie and he won't interpret them like Freddie did. That is the whole purpose of having him sing. It is supposed to be a little different. His voice is def. not thin, it is just higher. Opera tenors don't have thin voice, they just have higher voices. Adam can blow you out of the venue, but his voice is never going to sound like baritone Freddie. I don't know why you people can't get that thru your heads. You can have a high tenor voice that is very powerful and that is what Adam has. I have never heard Adam sounding thin. I think for you it just has to do with expectations and wanting him to sound like Freddie and how he sang them. A QAL concert is not a rehash of Freddie. The songs sound a bit different due to the different voices and the way Adam sings them. Freddie chopped everything off and Adam holds out the note. If you don't like the show, don't waste your money on it. Go see someone that fits your definition of a rocker, but for me and millions of happy QAL fans, Adam fits the bill!

Go to an Adele show. It's great it's spectacular. You can't judge Adele unless you see her live.
What do runner and SC have in common?
They are both annoying trolls that have been banned by QOL.
@misterCosmicc
You're on a roll there lol and you can say he can't sing rock all you like but there's lots of rock/metal dudes who love his voice and plenty say so after the QAL shows, not all rock singers sound like Freddie or Paul and lots of metal dudes love the high type of voices like Seb Bach's or Miljenko's, you're in cuckoo land if you think everyone at the shows dislike his voice or just put up with him.

There's a ton of proof after every show that you're completely wrong, plenty people on social media commenting how they misjudged him or saying wow I thought I was only going for Brian & Roger but he blew me away and lots of similar comments. You can bury your head in the sand all you like but the reality is there to read after every show, anyone claiming otherwise is ignoring reality and living in their own little fictional bubble, but carry on if it makes you feel better.
“@Lyndseyparker Got to hear @adamlambert’s #Velvet tonight. It’s full of bangers! My fave track is #Overglow, co-written by two people I’m obsessed with, @mnek & @butchwalker. The EP reminds me of #bryanferry, #georgemichael, #scissorsisters & best moments of #FYE. Excited about this EP!“

It sounds like you’re thinking of Alice Cooper and Dee Snider... of course they will play nice and say kind things about Adam. However, they know Adam isn’t a rock singer. Do they love Adam’s voice, or just think it’s great Brian and Roger “found something to do”????

Arrowsmith? LOL you must be a huge fan!
Neither Aerosmith or AC/DC have singers with light voices.

“they wanted a singer that could sing anything from their catalog.“
If you think about it, any vocalist can sing Queen’s catalogue, however will it sound great? Look at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert.
I believe they chose Adam for his image. The outrageous clothes and crap. They thought hardcore Queen fans would dig it. I believe Adam’s sexuality played a role too. They wanted someone that’s flashy, but it’s almost as if he’s a parody of gay rock stars. Adam tries too hard with his sexuality. He tries to be cute and sexy, but he’s not. He’s a very confused man.
