Loved Nile's message to Adam today! Thought it might be fun to look back at Nile Rodgers in the studio with Adam Lambert over the years (And a *few* performance pics & videos...)...

"Shady" (from Adam's "Trespassing" Album 2012): It all started with a tweet:

Brief Video posted by Nile Rodgers with Adam Lambert while in the studio recording "Shady" 
(note: the music is muted at the beginning.. it was still a surprise, before Adam's 2nd studio album "Trespassing" was released) Uploaded 10-22-11


And when they performed "Shady" at Nile Rodgers' "We Are Family" Foundation Gala 1-31-13 (see embedded video of the event below!)

Fingers crossed for more Nile Rodgers/Adam Lambert collaborations in the future!!! Perhaps Niles' tweet to Adam today (10-23-15) will be the start of another 

"It all started with a tweet"!!!

Thank you Admin for posting these great vids! Brings back great memories for sure. Nile loves Adam and shows his support over and over again. Adam performing Lay Me Down at the Winstar looked like so much fun and look at how much energy Adam has.....he's like the Energizer bunny...he never stops. Fantastic enterainter! Love Adam to pieces :)))

Nile is a true Glambert through and through. Love how he gives Adam shout-outs from time to time. Shady is the "single that should have been" but that's history now. Adam loves the song and will perform it lots of times, I'm sure. LMD is great too. Wish Avicii had released it as a single.

Nile is a true and honorable friend and man, and that's why he's lasted so long in this business.

NYE at Winstar was one of the BEST nights of my life! I got to meet Adam and had seats near the stage! I've been chasing "The Original High" ever since.
