‘It’s an important commodity’: Did Adam Lambert insure his voice ahead of latest Queen show?

The story, going into Adam Lambert’s U.S. concert debut with Queen, is that he had his voice insured — “allegedly,” he says, “for $50 million.”

Lambert, an American Idol finalist, hedges on confirming such a thing.

“Allegedly,” Lambert repeats, in this talk with Lee Downs. “It’s an important commodity. My voice is my moneymaker.”

Such a policy would make sense, not just because of Lambert’s role as a successor to Freddie Mercury, but also for his own solo career. Pressed by Downs, Lambert will only say: “You tell me.”

As for where he is, career wise, since that triumphal moment on Idol, Lambert says: “I don’t know if I can say better or worse. I’ve definitely grown; I’ve learned a lot. I’ve seen a lot. I feel like I get to explore so many things, musically.”

Queen is set to appear in September with Lambert, as part of an IHeartRadio event at Las Vegas.

    Absolutely he should have his voice insured! Among all the pop “fiddles” in today’s music market, his is that rare Stradivarius and should be treated as such. After all, a fiddle can be easily replaced. Not so the priceless Strat.

      Insurance is merely a means to pay for some type of loss. Almost any major concert, movie, tv show etc is insured. How else would they pay for cancelations or other losses. His voice is his “business.” It would be poor management for Adam or any business to not be insured.

  2. He did have his voice insured – last year. I would post a link but not sure it’s allowed. Just Google search!

  3. if angie dickenson could insure her legs for a million dollars, then adam has every right to insure his voice
