Oh definitely, Cheek x 2, Adam x 2 (one of them with Queen) and Muse, that should more than make up for this year.

Looks like you'll be making it up with seeing Adam 2 times next year!

Yay, I absolutely cannot wait!

Especially since I watched some live performance videos today.

Adam performed at the XLO (almost) Acoustic Christmas show on Dec 10, here are a few videos:

He is outstanding!

I especially love the Trespassing/Another One Bites The Dust mashup!

You're welcome! Hope you get a chance to, I'm sure you'll love them.

I did! He sounded awesome as usual (I feel like we don't even need to say it anymore because he always does xD) and he looked like he's having a blast throughout the whole thing and it probably helped that the audience seems very lively and interactive! And agreed about the mashup, it was pretty awesome.

Cereal Killer · 01-14-2016, 10:03 PM

Yeah, his soundingawesome is given.

I loved the energy of the performances and the crowd too. And the mashup was way cool!

Adam Lambert to Co-Star in Fox's 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'

The 'American Idol' and 'Glee' alum will take over the role originally played by Meat Loaf.

Adam Lambert is returning to Fox.

The American Idol and Glee alum has been tapped to co-star in the network's rendition of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Lambert will take over the role of Eddie originally portrayed by Meat Loaf in the cult 1975 film. Eddie is the rock 'n' roll-loving ex-delivery boy who emerges at Dr. Frank-N-Furter's on a motorcycle and crashes the party.

“I grew up watching Rocky Horror, but could never imagine that I would be part of this new vision. Rocky Horror always made me feel like it was OK to celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old time rock-n-roll!” Lambert said in a nod to one of the film's musical productions. (Watch Meat Loaf's arrival as Eddie, below.)

Lambert's name was one of the first to surface for a role in Fox's Rocky Horror. Sources tell THR that he was originally considered for the role of Frank-N-Furter that was originated by Tim Curry. Orange Is the New Black actress Laverne Cox will take on the iconic role in the TV adaptation.

Lambert joins a cast that also includes Victoria Justice and Disney star Ryan McCartan as Janet and Brad, who stumble upon Frank-N-Furter's self-described "sweet transvestite" and the scientist's bizarre castle. The roles were originated by Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick. Penny Dreadful alum Reeve Carney will play Riff-Raff, and singer Staz Nair will portray Rocky Horror.

The two-hour Fox special, due in fall, will be directed, executive produced and choreographed by Kenny Ortega (High School Musical) and filmed in advance. Ortega, Gail Berman and Lou Adler, who produced the original film, are attached as exec producers. The new Rocky will be produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and Berman's The Jackal Group.

Lambert is repped by CAA and Direct Management.

Adam is perfect for this.

That's a very interesting project for him to be involved in! And love that's he's actually a big fan so it makes it even more fun for him.

MargoK · 01-15-2016, 03:36 PM

I heard "Another Lonely Night" on the radio today! They even said that he'd be here March 5th. I won't be going to see him as we'll still be on our cruise!

Margo

Cereal Killer · 01-16-2016, 01:16 PM

Yeah, I love that he got a chance to be part of it since he loves it so much and I'm sure he'll rock the part.

Margo, that's great you heard the song on the radio, too bad you won't be able to see him though.

Alternate with great audio

Awesome!

I heard it once. I just hope it isn't like the Nate Ruess song that I heard once on that station and never heard again. You all know how much I love Nate Ruess.
