While Aussie concertgoers are forking out hundreds of dollars to buy
tickets to see Queen and Adam Lambert play this month, an even bigger
ticket is the price on the voice of Freddie Mercury’s replacement.
The UK’s Daily Mirror reports that Lambert has insured his voice for $54m, thanks in part to the huge success the tour is proving to be.
After selling out shows across the US, the Queen and Adam Lambert combo is now filling arenas in Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand with talks in place for some UK dates too.
The shows have clearly hit the nail on the head as far as cross-generational appeal – the older generation are going for the chance to see guitar legend Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor (bassist Brian Deacon retired in 1997), while the younger generations will recognise the distinctive baseline from Under Pressure that Vanilla Ice used in ‘Ice Ice Baby’ and of course there’s Lambert’s huge fan base from the American idol generation.

I like this piece...simple, smooth-flowing; the writer, Maryvonne, ended it quite humorously about insurance of body parts:
"Many other singers, however, have found other body parts to be more valuable.
Rihanna - USD$1m legs
Tina Turner - USD$3.2m legs
Dolly Parton - USD$3.8m breasts
Tom Jones - USD$7m chest hair
Jennifer Lopez - USD$300m buttocks
Mariah Carey - USD$1bn legs "
Now back to Adam...$54 million for his voice! Goodness gracious! No wonder I am lost for words describing it, always ending up in a berserk fashion...like driving his voice out from within, his voluptuous torso/voice chamber etc. lol!
Thanks Admin Fan.
Don't know why this is making news at the moment.....it actually happened at least a couple of years ago. They're just now adding Queens name to the mix....
