Hey i can answer on the "difficulties" as I was there on Saturday. On Don't Stop Me now, the sound started going in and out and at one point it did look like Adam was lip syncing although I think it also may have been a delay issue. It just started to look bizarre as they seemed to be at different points in the song and the audience was confused. The concert in general was running very late and by the time Queen's set was about to start, the stage was not ready (they announced Rami Malek to introduce them but instead played Global Citizen videos they had already played for another 20 min). My guess is there was pressure to start when the sound wasn't 100% ready and it showed. However, after DSMN, they seemed to get it together. But overall, good set.
I heard Alicia Keys stayed on longer than she was supposed to and that held up the sound checking and they had to just go on, no idea if that's true but a few people who were there mentioned it.
I doubt Adam would lip sync but if there was a sound delay it could make it look like that. He hates the idea of lip syncing and it's not something he's good at, he said the hardest part of doing a video is making it look like you'rehe's actually singing and that's with the benefit of being able to play around with it afterwards, live it would be a nightmare.
