An Excerpt about Adam Lambert: Read the entire eulogy at the link at the bottom of the page...
"Talking about community, I was stunned to learn that mum was an avid twitter user who followed her musical idol Adam Lambert online. Last week I thought I would write to him on twitter to tell him of my mums passing and within a couple of hours my message had been shared by mums online community in their hundreds and thousands; I was so heart-warmed to learn that she had connected with people from all over the world. People wrote to me to say that mum was a great person, a confidante, a source of help and comfort; all in all, a great friend. They have promised to hold her in their thoughts forever more and it makes my heart beam with pride that she was so well thought of both here and abroad. Within 5 hours Adam Lambert, her hero with nearly 2.5m followers, had posted a message of condolence about my mum; she would be jumping for joy in heaven she’d been tweeted. I was going to go to Newcastle Arena with mum only next month, she was close to seeing Adam after 5 years of solid devotion and being genuinely one of his biggest fans. It breaks my heart she never got to see him. However me and Liam were given two tickets by Adam to attend the concert in January and we will rock all night on behalf of my mother."
One of the songs played at Carol's service was Nirvana, by Adam Lambert:

It's very touching indeed.... Thank you so much for sharing this and I'm so proud to be a fan of Adam. Nirvana has a beautiful message.... R.I.P.

I almost forgot how beautiful this song is and how beautiful Adam sings it. Such a wonderful tribute to Carol and her family.
What a lovely homage to the power of Adam's fans worldwide. Carol Bate was one of millions who find a real friendship and sense of unity in our fandom. We all understand her devotion to Adam and how much he meant to her. Her son handled this all very well. I haven't heard Nirvana in ages. I played it and loved it once again.
I didn't realize how young she was :(
All so beautiful; brought tears to my eyes. what a beautiful loving son she has; I feel that she is so proud and feeling all the love and devotion from a higher place. Adam is such a beautiful soul; no wonder so many people love him. My prayers go out to her sons.
What a wonderful fandom. What a beautiful and devoted fan she was!
Just beautiful!
I have already chosen this for my funeral song, it is beautful and so appropriate.
RIP Carol, you will be much missed.
