I'm letting Adam worry about Adam's career...he has people to do that. But thanks for "worrying" about Adam and his career, solo or otherwise. Yep. And with the media always reporting that he has as estimate 25 million net worth, only behind two Idol winners Carrie and Kelly, my guess is most everyone knows he is doing just fine as a solo artist and with Queen. Looking forward to Adam doing promo for his animated movie. Very little to be concerned about, imo.

Between his relationship with Queen, the film TSMGO, and the last few spectacular vocal offerings, from Believe, to Feel Something to New Eyes...he is building a whole new audience to augment we OG, always there fans.
I have two friends who have just jumped on the Adam bandwagon and it is a huge pleasure to see this! The first friend of mine is one from my political activism circle...she also was a Queen fan of sorts and for a fun excursion, came to the QAL concert the last time they were here...2016 I think. She stayed mostly a QAL fan but slowly became more and more enamoured with Adam. The BR film cemented her admiration of Adam as well as Queen...she saw the film at least 4 times. With New Eyes...she has focused more on Adam...has a notification feed to her email and regularly sends me messages that start off "Did you see this....?" LOL as if I had not...but I don't tell her that....
The other is more surprising and therefore even more rewarding!! She is of my academic sphere...in Alaska...and has never really been much interested in music...other that, perhaps, semi-country. [She and husband are from Missouri and Oklahoma, currently in Arkansas! Well...she got one look and listen at/to Adam and New Eyes [LOVES a man with long hair for starters..that was the hook] and has become a newly quite besotted adamfan!!! She also sends me "Did you see this....? emails. It is so fun and satisfying....
Both of these friends have really dug in in their interest with New Eyes....neither were at all into pop so did not really see why I liked him so. QAL informed them of the why and of how good he really is...but it is FS and NE, and to lesser extent, Believe, that is drawing them in. fyi but not ott

I know, but, I think if there is a way to spread his music, the more Gold & platinum sales he has- it looks better for him... Does anyone have any update on sales since the documentary? I've noticed the increase on sales. Which is great. But has that given more platinum/ gold sales? imo Ghost Town, gold /platinum sales are massive. but TOH needs more.. Also, side note, why does it feel people have forgotten that Adam's solo career is actually quite important? I don' think people know about China. XD Seriously, I feel concerned. I know Adam doesn't seem to care? But I think, like that documentary with Queen - that helped a lot with a few people, they should have a documentary on his SOLO things. Like, him being at the launching event at the Billboard China,... is kinda massive.. and him being first western artist to be on the Voice?... idk. Kinda important. Those, important things. I think Adam will be one of those artist, that people don't know that have accomplished, till much later.. in terms of General public, for his SOLO. Sorry, I'm kinda looking outside looking in, imo, I think General Public doesn't know things...like facts and figures. or have forgotten the solo importance of his solo career? It can't be just me.. Thoughts.? Here's what I suggest. A lot of fans have areas of interest that they share with us. They range from birthday cakes, current news, song numbers, pretty pictures, etc, etc. When you feel, here or on twitter, the urge to share something we may have forgotten then post about it. There's a reason so many people on Twitter do a TBT - throw back Thursday type posts and we often have "on this day in Adam history" posts here. We had a discussion about the "how" of sharing a few weeks ago and so the effort on the poster's part is to share, to make easy, to celebrate but not to nag. On a slow day you might post a "top five forgotten moments of 2012" and encourage folks to share their lists. OG fans like to share their knowledge and newbies like finding out new things.

Pi, every time I see Adam is that suit (the picture with Pharaoh) I drool, lol. Okay, the flared pants are his thing right now but those straight leg pants just make me want to see more of that. And the hair mostly off his face is a killer look. I'm so thrilled he decided to cut some of the hair but still keeping it full and a little longish. And I have enjoyed the windblown look (Capital Ball) because it is full and long on top.
