As a warm-up, the band performed on the iHeartRadio theater in Los Angeles on Monday, and I’ve included photos from the show at the bottom of this blog.

The 24-date North American tour kicks off in Chicago Thursday night and will include stops in Philadelphia (July 16), Columbia, Md. (July 20) and Atlantic City (July 26).

When the tour was announced in March, Queen’s Roger Taylor called Adam “the most incredible frontman.”

Adam said he expects the tour to be “a huge milestone” for him. “I feel like magic will be on display,” he said at the time.

Adam and Queen have performed together before, including at the 2013 iHeart Music Festival and the European MTV Music Awards.
