The overhead costs of a tour as big as QAL must be huge. BUT, we do know that Adam made major money on the QAL tours. It was his biggest income source. So, yes, the tours are expensive, but the major performers apparently make good money. Adam sure did. I would think that Adam's contract is probably a flat fee, per show, plus a certain percentage of the gross. Remember, official concert gross figures almost never incude merchandise or concessions. "Not making any money" to Brian might mean only 2K a show as opposed to 5K per show! I assume also that "Not making any money" shouldn't be taken literally - and Adam has definitely earned himself a comfortable cushion by touring with Queen. The music "business" in general is pretty confusing for me though...as I thought that the biggest paycheck for musicians nowadays is touring, considering the decline in album sales. But I do understand that Queen and Adam's huge production is costly, and I do remember that Gaga said in an interview a while ago that all the $$ she makes goes straight into the production of a new show.

You can look at the net worth of people like Gaga, Katy, Carrie, Rihanna, Ed, Taylor and even Adam to know they are making good money from their tours. As much as Adam loves Queen, he is not likely spending so much time touring with them for peanuts. He has even made millions on his solo tours. What I don't understand is how so many indie Idols are making money playing clubs with their bands to 200-300 and charging $20 to get in.

What a slow day!
There's not much activity in the ASK show folders either. Is it too early to plan any get together for LA 1 or 2?

Dru Baccaro Newburgh, NY, United States · Flipping through the channels I came upon MTV live .Queen was playing the Isle of wight festival. I know no one ever could replace Freddie Mercury, by far one of the bet voices in rock history.Adam Lambert killed it.I was very impressed.
