Chapter 3
Time flew by so fast. After that meeting with their manager, Adam has kept us so busy. In four, maybe five weeks we've done at least sixteen shows, and now it's the first week of April. The announcement was made mid March, that Adam Lambert would be touring with Queen, and the fans have gone crazy. I mean crazy. They have pretty much bought out all of the shows listed for the tour, and for the shows we've done. Questions have been asked to both of us through Twitter, Facebook, and normal fan mail. Mostly questions about the band, the times, how he feels, stuff like that. It's amazing the power Adam Lambert has on his glamberts. I mean amazing. If he says jump, they ask how high, if he says he's doing an interview, they are watching it, even if he says he likes this song, or this band, they go buy the album, or the song. It's outrageous.
So, I know I'm skipping around a little bit in my story, but, just hear me out. This is only the beginning. It's the opening week of the tour. Their first show is at a baseball game in California. Nothing huge; for them anyway. But, I'm already getting kinda lonely. With the busy schedules, we're usually to busy to do anything but work, and when we come home we're to tired to do anything else then take a shower and go to sleep. But, it wasn't really bugging me much at that point. It was nothing new to me. It was the same way on the GlamNation tour, and we were only friends then. So, what am I getting at? Well, let me tell you.
It's the day before the opening show. Adam, the band, and I have been from head to toe with work to do for the up coming tour. The dress rehearsal was going to be at the stadium that the game would take place. Set up has to be quick and easy, so it doesn't get in the way of the game. So, no stage, no set up, nothing but microphones, the guitars, and the drums. Weird. Why open their tour with a show that isn't...BAM! You know? Seems a little strange to me.
Anyway, all of us are are at the stadium to watch the dress rehearsal. By us, I mean Ashley, Isaac, and I. We are all wanting to see this come together perfect. If you didn't know, Adam is a perfectionist when it comes to the shows. He plans it out, step by step. Yeah, when he is with his own band, it's a little different. He has fun on stage, and shows the fans the real him. The one I fell for. The Adam Lambert who got into the music and did what he wanted to his bass/guitar/piano player. Don't you remember that I played piano at the AMA's? Yeah.
Well, the three of us are leaning up against the walls of the field, right in front of where they would be preforming. The grass was freshly mowed and the lines were newly painted. People were walking around, making sure things were set up right with the right people. The three of us weren't the only ones here, there were several other guys dressed in business attire, so I assumed that they were agents, managers, or someone else important, like maybe a president of something. I don't know.
Before I knew it, the guys were walking over here, preforming their first song. Bohemian Rhapsody. It was the song that Adam sang for his American Idol audition. It was a beautiful song.
The guitars started playing the cords, and the two main guys from Queen, Brian and Roger, came out beginning to sing. "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught on a landslide, no escape from reality." They walked slowly out onto the field, going opposite ways coming out. "Open your eyes," they sang, then strummed once more and pointed towards the sky. "Look up at the sky's, and see." Then brought their hands down slowly.
Then came Adam. He came out the same place the other two did, but, he stopped and sang his first line. "I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy."
He took his first step, then they sang together the next few lines. "Because I'm easy come, easy go. Little high, little low." As Brian and Roger were walking out around the opposite sides, Adam walked though the middle. They continued to sing in sync. "Can you feel the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me."
"To me," Adam sang that one line and it just shot chills down my spine. Adam continued to walk down in the middle of them. They all stopped and Roger, on Adams right, began walking towards him while he sang. "Mama, I just killed a man." He drug out the notes, and Roger stopped right next to him. Adam made a gun with his hand and looked down at it. "Put a gun against his head." Adam brought his hand up to Roger's, head and they both closed their eyes. "Pulled my trigger now he's dead." Then Roger bowed his head keeping his eyes closed and the Brian started making his way towards Adam, who continued singing. "Mama."
Again in sync Adam and Brian continued singing. "Life has just begun, And now I've gone and thrown it all away..." Then Roger lifted his head and sang with them, again. "Mama, oh, oh. I didn't mean to make you cry, if I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on carry on." The three of them were now walking towards us, where they were supposed to end up.
But, those next five words out of Adam's mouth were the most bone chilling words of all. Nothing had even happen yet, but those five words, made my heart brake a little. "As if nothing really matters."
