LIFE ON A TOUR BUS by Adam Lambert

Life on a tour bus can be a big adjustment for those who are not used to it. Thankfully after being on a bus with 10 other guys last year on the American Idol tour, I knew what to expect. This year, it is much less crowded as it is just me, my dancers and Sutan, my makeup artist on my bus. There is much more room, and I have to say, dancers are much cleaner than 10 guys.

Arnie is our kick a** bus driver who drives us and he is such a great guy! Sometimes my dancers and I will just sit up there and chat with him. Having done this for many years, he sure has a lot of good stories!!! The other night we were driving through a storm and we all squished up into his front cabin and he told us stories about all of the different storms he has driven through. It was pretty interesting. We also got a front row look at the lightening which is always thrilling to see! (Don’t forget that I live in LA and I rarely see lighting there!)

How the bus is set up, is there is a front lounge. This has some couches, tv’s, a table and kitchen stuff. Then walking towards the back there are bunks for the dancers and Sutan and then I am in the back. There is also a shower which is REALLY nice because after a show, I get sweaty and it is nice to shower before I go to bed. We normally go straight to the bus after the show, and from then we watch a movie, (just watched BATMAN and THERE WILL BE BLOOD last night), play cards or just laugh. I also like to get on my computer in back and look up reviews from the show. This is a good way to take notes and see if there is anything to take into consideration for the next show.

Going on a 4 month tour, the bus becomes my home and it is great to be sharing it with my dancers and friends. After a show and a long drive ahead, I doze off to then wake up the next morning in a new city!!!!
