LOL. "Everything happens for a reason" is right up there with "Trust a bitch" when it comes to phrases I'd be happy to never see again in response to disappointing or worrisome news.

Wow!!!! cleopatra i agree with you. Adam has said soooo many times he'd like to sing with her. She never "replied". He even stoped naming her saying like "the Message is Out, she hasnt reached out" time to move on... i'm quite astounded at this Revelation!!! Def not complaining though! I even remember her stern look (or Botox? 😶) when Alison praised Adam as real help during her run on the voice. OMG. I am stunned. When Adam talked about his touring plans, I remember he said something - I don't recall exactly what it was, now - that made it sound like something more than just his usual solo tour modus operandi, and we were wondering what that could be. Now we know. I'm so sad for Adam, because regardless of what I, or anyone else, thinks of Xtina, he's a huge fan and that had to be something he was so excited about. I know the coronavirus has cost many people dearly, in much more important ways, but still...Adam's plans have taken such a beating. He must be so disappointed about all the cool things he had on tap that have had to be rescheduled or cancelled with a lot of uncertainty as to when, or even if, they'll ever happen. I hope the tour was going to be as co-headliners. Can't believe he'd want to be an opening act at this point, even for CA. Yep. No way he would be an opening act on his own VELVET tour. I hope they can reschedule.

Dang...I am so NOT an Xtina fan and hope it does not happen. Both together would fill a 11-15 thousand place.
2010--- cancelled tour due to poor sales and the show Burlesque also cited a reason for tourcancellation
2019 ...with more visibility I might assume from the Voice, her X Tour in 2019... was 18 shows in Europe close to 5000, to max in the 8000 range.
2020 SSE live awards...best solo act live performance. Well she is admired by some.

So this tour with Xtina was really going to happen? No joke? I was very skeptical there for a bit. I am thrilled that it was arranged and all set and Adam was going to be doing a tour with a big name who he also admired. I pray that it will happen at some point. So disappointed about so many of Adam's plan for this year. So many artists in the same boat. But THIS tour was a bolt out of the blue! Hope Xtina and Adam can make it happen alter. What a great pair of voices to work together!

stampsgal, I just saw your post after I posted mine. I have not been keeping up with Xtina. I do not follow her. I have no strong opinion of her really. Guess she's had her ups and downs. She does have a good voice. I think Adam would be a major draw to a tour with her, too. We'll see.

The very idea of Adam opening for anyone makes me sick... this would’ve been no different...

There was a certain "Glambert in the know" that mentioned something along the lines of "Adam's tour will be different and some fans will not like it". Now I see what was meant by that... Not sure how I feel about it.

What a great pair of voices to work together! I hope it will happen too. Not a big fan of Xtina but if it is what Adam wants, I hope he gets it. I would want to see that happen for him more than touring with Alex Newal like he did the last time. Besides, I think Adam and Xtina together could fill arenas like Kelly Clarkson did. She was playing to 6-8K and not the Queen size 15-20k arena tour. And Adam and Xtina have been playing the same mid size venues in recent years so together they could pull off Kelly size arenas. Would be nice to see him able to bump it up. And it would still be the Velvet tour so I doubt he would be opening for her.

Well she is admired by some. I'm not a fan of Xtina, and I don't know how a joint tour with Adam would sell, but I can definitely see why they were willing to try. Artists do joint tours, as I assume this one would have been (as opposed to Adam opening for her, which I strongly doubt was the plan), in part because the total is greater than the sum of its parts - they would draw more attention together than separately, and I do think that pairing would draw attention. Adam really doesn't have a lot of artists he, and his fan base, would be compatible with, but IMO Xtina would be one. I"m not saying that all Xtina fans would be fans of Adam's, or vice versa, just that their fan bases are both intensely focused on exceptional vocal ability and tend to appreciate that in other artists. And, not to put too fine a point on it, they're of a similar age and have fans that skew older than the young CHR crowd. I would have been very interested to see how it would have played out, and hope it will happen at some point.
