„Ghost Town” este primul single al celui de-al treilea album semnat Adam Lambert - „The Original High”.
La o săptămână de la lansarea piesei, Adam Lambert ne prezintă videoclipul acesteia, sub regia lui Hype Williams.
Filmările au avut loc în urmă cu aproximativ două saptămâni, iar majoritatea celor implicați (dansatori, modele etc.) fac parte din anturajul lui Adam, care mărturisește că și-a dorit ca toată această experiență să fie cât se poate de familială.
Vineri, 24
aprilie, a avut loc ceremonia premiilor
britanice care au ca scop recunoașterea personalităților din lumea
artistică sau organizațiilor ce vin în
susținerea drepturilor egale și a non-discriminării membrilor comunității LGBT
(„lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community”).
Adam
Lambert a obținut premiul „Music Icon”, fiind nominalizat alături de Boy George,
Sam Smith, Olly Murs, Pet Shop Boys, Lady Gaga, Annie Lennox și Miley Cyrus.
Neputând
asista la ceremonia desfășurată în Londra, Adam a pregătit un mic discurs ce a
fost proiectat ulterior.
Adam
Lambert nu se află la prima recunoaștere pentru munca lui în cadrul
comunității LGBT, fiind cunoscut de mulți ani ca activist în lupta pentru egalitate.
În
continuare vă prezentăm câteva filmulețe din cadrul diverselor evenimente la
care a luat parte:
În urmă cu
câteva ore a fost lansat „Ghost Town”, primul single de pe „The Original High”, cel de-al
treilea album solo al lui Adam Lambert.
Piesa poate fi ascultată chiar aici:
„Ghost Town”
a primit deja nenumărate recenzii pozitive din partea mass-media și a radio-urilor din SUA și nu numai,
fiind catalogat ca „Viitorul muzicii pop”, „Piesa verii” sau „Mare hit”.
Albumul „The Original High” -sub producătorii executivi Max Martin și Shellback- va
apărea pe 16 iunie, coperta și tracklist-ul fiind deja publicate.
În urma unui comunicat de presă de pe site-ul oficial al
trupei au fost anunțate date noi pentru ceea ce va fi turneul sud-american marca
Queen+Adam Lambert.
Primul mare eveniment despre care se vorbește de ceva vreme
este festivalul „Rock in Rio” (Rio de Janeiro, Brazilia), aflat la cea de-a
30-a aniversare și care îi va avea pe Queen și Adam Lambert pe scena principală
din seara deschiderii, pe 18 septembrie 2015.
Trupa Queen a deschis și prima ediție a festivalului, în 11
ianuarie 1985, prestând în fața a 250 000 de oameni. Show-ul televizat a fost
difuzat în peste 60 de țări, Queen ocupând primele locuri în topurile
braziliene, iar „Love Of My Life” a devenit atunci un nou „imn” al Braziliei.

Paolo, Brazilia(16 septembrie) Porto Alegre, Brazilia (21 septembrie) Buenos Aires, Argentina (25 septembrie) Santiago, Chile (30 septembrie) R.Ș.
After a long
time waiting for them, the European fans finally could make their dream come
true.
2015 started with “rock royalty” Queen & the amazing "Gift from God"American frontman Adam Lambert touring most parts of the continent.
25 concerts in 10
countries.
The first
stop was in Newcastle (UK) on January 13th.
There were
a lot of memorable moments, so we decided to pick some of them and remember
together this amazing part of their and our lives.
There we
go!
One Vision
This gives us
high levels of adrenaline maybe because it’s the opening song, the one that
brings Queen & Adam Lambert on stage. It’s a high-energy beat and the
lights, the sound and the stupendous gold and leather outfit simply take your
breath away. This one opens one of the most special gigs of the tour, definitely.
Kӧln, Germany (January 29th)
Talking about Kӧln, this was the
nicest moment of the night. I’m sure it’s pretty amazing to have more than 15
000 people singing „Happy Birthday” for you. Adam’s face says everything.
Stone Cold Crazy
Energy, energy, energy. „Let’s get crazy!”...and so it goes!
Leeds, UK(January 20th)
Another One Bites The Dust
Favourite funky beats, for sure. And those
moves...
Nottingham, UK (January 24th)
Fat Bottomed Girls
Mmm this one is really special. What a night!
I can see myself there in the first row...and still can't believe I took part of that show.
"That's right, Vienna!"
Fierce!
Vienna, Austria (February1st)
In The Lap Of The Gods Amazing lights and effects! Seven Seas of Rhye "Are you ready?"
Killer Queen Definitely one of the favourite moments of the audiences all over. He's got all the ingredients needed. Pure joy!
*Speech* Honesty, humbleness, love and full respect for Freddie. All coming from this amazing artist and human being. Audience's feedback says it all. I Want To Break Free Freddie's and also Adam's anthem for the need of being able to be who you wanna be in this world full of superficiality. Lovely his way of interaction with fans. London1, UK (January 17th)
Don't Stop Me Now
One of Queen's biggest hits. Wembley was a great audience! London3, UK (February 24th)
Somebody To Love
"Who is in love? I'm not... Yeah, sometimes being on tour is very lonely..but I have you guys tonight, yeah? And I'm getting through a little cold, but you're the best medicine. So thank you!"
Remember when Adam was diagnosed with severe bronchitis? Well, this was his first show right after the one they unfortunately cancelled. All I can say is...HOLY VOCALS! Milan, Italy (February 10th)
Love Of My Life
This song is a symbol for Queen. I still have in mind this moment. Brian's "Don't be shy!" was so cute! He is simply adorable! Great example for all the artists! Prague, Czech Republic (February 17th)
'39 Brian May gives a lesson of astrophysics and presents the "astronauts". What a great team! Frankfurt, Germany (February 7th)
These Are The Days Of Our Lives
This brings a lot of memories to everyone: Brian, Roger, Queen fans. Roger's vocals are admirable. Manchester, UK (January 21th)
A Kind Of Magic
Written and sung by Roger Taylor.
Zürich, Switzerland (February 19th)
Bass Solo
Drum Battle
Neil Fairclough on the bass becomes the spotlight and right after the "battle" between Roger and Rufus gets full appreciation.
Milan, Italy (February 10th)
Under Pressure
What an amazing duet! Beautiful collaboration!
Paris, France (January 26th)
Save Me
Personal favourite song.
The a cappella part is breathtaking.
Soulful, touching, meaningful.
Been there, lived that!
Vienna, Austria (February 1st)
Who Wants To Live Forever Perfection in both Adam's voice and Brian's guitar. The lasers and the crystal ball make this moment even more special.
Stuttgart, Germany (February 13th)
Guitar Solo
Guitar God Mr Brian May in all his glory.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands (January 30th)
Tie Your Mother Down Young Mr Taylor doing great job while the audience is being prepared for the upcoming part of the gig. Berlin, Germany (February 4th)
Sing-Along
Some of my personal favourite minutes of the tour.
Adam loves playing with the audiences, but Hamburg was really impressive!
See the feedback? That's an audience! And a great entertainer! Look at his happy face!
Hamburg, Germany (February 5th)
Dragon Attack Sung only a few times through the European tour, the Polish had the opportunity to get funky with these beats. Krakow, Poland (February 21th)
I Want It All First of all, I love the message of the song. It's universal...timeless. The beginning was praised by everyone. Adam and Brian sound divine! Herning, Denmark (February 15th)
Radio Gaga
Unforgettable.
Vienna, Austria (February 1st)
Crazy Little Thing Called Love "Fouuuuu!" Haha, this is so funny! Great response to Brian May's "Qu'est-ce que vous pensez...?". And finally the "trés chic" is the cherry on top. It's pretty obvious that French people enjoyed the concert and loved Adam as well! Paris, France (January 26th)
The Show Must Go On Another majestic Queen song, unfortunately also played only a few times. That end...!
Hamburg, Germany (February 5th)
Bohemian Rhapsody Beautiful and complex song. Freddie's appearance makes the audiences go crazy and the final "duet" of Adam and Freddie is touching. Also, can't help thinking of Adam's audition on American Idol in 2009...this is the song that practically changed his entire life. Newcastle, UK (January 13th)
We Will Rock You
We Are The Champions
The classic end of their shows with two of the most popular songs.
The final outfit with the crown on Adam's head presenting the King of Queen.
The bows along with the roaring audience.
The end of an incredible night and tour.
Sheffield, UK (February 27th)

Adam in the crowd
Adorable! No more words needed.
