Right now, the Philly date is one of 19 that have been announced, beginning June 19 in Chicago and ending July 20 in Washington, D.C.

The tour announcement shouldn’t come as a surprise. Adam has performed with Queen a number of times since finishing second back in Season 8.

“Adam is the most incredible frontman,” Queen’s Roger Taylor said at a Thursday press conference, according to The Rolling Stone. “He’s a great diva, and I mean that in the best possible way. We need that theatrically.”

Added Adam: “I know this tour will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display.”
