Adam Lambert 24/7 News

I'd say...a little MORE than "satisfying"! Evidently the slow-down of the pandemic hasn't pauperized Adam. He probably hasn't even cut back on wardrobe purchases/closet filling!
So happy he doesn't have to "pinch pennies" to get by.

Just thinking....that adds up to an increase of $2M per year! I hope he's safely invested.

That's good to hear. I stopped worrying about him at 20 mil, but I need to be kept up so if it drops below 20 mil I can worry again. I think most everything Adam wears is a business expense.

haha, Patria.....so $20M is "your line in the sand"? Gee, I never even thought about it!

And you're right that most of his wardrobe is a business expense. That's show biz!

Adam has said that he has people taking care of his investments because he worries he'd spend it all on clothes.. Smart man... Guessing it's going well..

I hope they're honest "people". How many times have I read about some celebrity finding themselves broke....thanks to an unscrupulous "money manager"?

Interesting article. I'm sure Adam has good financial people to handle his money.

As for the his income, whether his income is from his solo work or from QAL, it's all a result of his amazing talent.

Speaking of income from QAL....I've often wondered how Adam gets paid by Queen....a share of the ticket sales?....a set amount per concert?....by the hour?...or some combination? Anyone know?

I'm sure he has a detailed contract with the Queen organization. He probably gets a certain amount per show and possibly a percentage of the gate. I'm sure there are other details, too. Remember when they had to cancel one QAL show because Adam had bronchitis? Maybe he didn't get paid for that missed one, but I don't know. When the earnings are that high, there is a lot involved.

BTW, Adam has only missed that ONE QAL show due to illness. Adam is very healthy and has great stamina during these long, strenuous tours. I remember his GNT tour. There were LOTS of dates, lots of the two or three in a row. If Adam missed one, I don't remember it. He is very careful about his voice and his overall health. It's a strenuous job.

All I know is that Adam "missed" one in Clearwater, Fla....in his solo tour, not with Queen. I had flown down there and had earlier purchased tickets for me and my Tampa based Son, Daughter in Law and Granddaughter to attend Adam's concert together. We were literally all dressed and ready to go out and grab an early dinner before the show....and my cell phone received notice that the concert had been cancelled! My heart was broken! Of course my tickets were refunded, but a lot more than that was lost! I SO wanted to share Adam with my Tampa family! I STILL have not seen an Adam SOLO tour.

The QAL tour that was cancelled was the Bruxelles (Brussels) one. I remember that because we had lived there for almost 3 years, and my oldest son was born there in 1960. I remember wondering if any old friends there had planned to see that concert.

Just thinking....a legitimately missed show (caused by illness, accident, weather, etc.) are probably covered by insurance, I would think. While tickets would be refunded....certainly a lot of money is being eaten up (lost) by QAL's gigantic operation just sitting in a holding pattern until the "crisis" has passed.

Read that Adam has still paid his band during the enforced hiatus of the pandemic. Wonder how QAL has handled its enormous entourage during its continued delay in touring?

Perhaps Adam & the whole Queen entourage are paid a retainer when they're delayed from touring.

Perhaps, Rosemary, but paid by who?...by insurance, or from Queen's (or QAL's) coffers? I suspect that Queen and QAL are entirely different entities legally and financially. In fact, I've often wondered how all the finances are sorted out, since I think John and Freddie's heirs (sister? and Mary?) have an ongoing share of Queen's profits..... and probably QAL's, too?
Anyone know how Queen and QAL have sorted all that out...and where Adam fits into that organization? i.e....How much "control" does he have in decision-making?

No idea but I feel sure Adam is paid handsomely. They most certainly want to retain him!

Oh yeah! You're right about that!
