The artist cited his withdrawal due to issues concerning his voice which occurred during his set at Creamfields. The “Changed The Way You Kiss Me” singer had lost his voice during his performance at the music festival and cancelled his Manchester appearance mere hours before he was meant to perform. Example was meant to perform at the Manchester Pride event on 28th August 2021, other headliners included Yungblud and Sigala.

A representative from Manchester Pride responded to the artist’s withdrawal, stating that the show would go on whilst following a contingency plan, the spokesperson also wished Example the best. The event’s plan involved extending the set of legendary DJ Annie Mac to please eventgoers. The event’s spokesperson’s full statement stated “Sadly we have been told that Example is unable to perform tonight because he has lost his voice. Annie Mac has kindly agreed to perform a longer set to keep the party going. We wish Example the very best and hope he has a speedy recovery.”

Example took to his Twitter page to explain his exit from the event. Within his apology, he stated: “Hi guys, erm, Elliot here. Or as my mum calls me, Example. I’m just really sorry to say, I’ve had to-, I was in Manchester this morning after Creamfields last night, but my voice is just absolutely f***ed from giving it my all last night at Creamfields. Please forgive me. It was probably one of the most exciting, biggest shows to come back to after so long away, and I gave it 110 per cent, and as a result my voice is f***ed – as you can hear. I can’t even sing. So I won’t be performing at Manchester Pride this evening, but have a lovely time. I had my t-shirt ready and everything! Enjoy yourself.” The artist took to his Instagram to celebrate his performance at Creamfields, pairing the photo collection with the caption “More from Creamfields last night aka The Show Of A Lifetime“.

The album’s most successful single entitled “Kickstarts” was released on 13th June 2010, the track was the third single taken from the album and peaked at number three within the UK singles charts and reached number one on the UK Dance Chart. The artist’s most successful chart successes are found within his two number-one singles, the first being “Changed the Way You Kiss Me” released on 5th June 2011. Example’s second number-one single entitled “Stay Awake” was released on 28th August 2011, both singles were chosen as Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record in the World. 

Example’s most recent album release entitled Some Nights Last for Days was released in 2020 after an announcement via Instagram which saw the artist describe how the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting quarantine had allowed him to create and produce more music. The artist’s seventh studio album contained a single which was a polished version of a freestyle rap in which Example featured on an Instagram live, the single entitled “Paperclips (Isolation Freestyle)” was the album first single and was released on 24th April 2020.

In various posts on Twitter, the singer also confirmed to fans that he would be hitting the road early next year. Example will be heading on tour in January and February of 2022, the artist also stated that more news will come within a fortnight.

The 38-year-old singer gained popularity from the popular American singing competition, American Idol Season 8, in which he won the second place. He then has released three albums so far, with hit singles like “Whataya Want from Me“, “Never Close Our Eyes“, and “Ghost Town“.

Lambert’s fame has extremely thrived when, in 2011, he was selected to be the lead singer for legendary Queen on their tours. The collaboration has been a great success for both the band, as they get to go on tour around the globe with a vocalist, and Lambert who is honoured to sing for the late Freddy Mercury. Queen +Adam Lambert has been a remarkable success that spawns Lambert with more recognition in the music scene.

On March 20, Lambert will release the fourth record titled VELVET. The album comes after a five-year gap from 2015’s The Original High. VELVET was initially teased as an EP named VELVET: Side A, which contains six tracks that will be included in the complete 13-song tracklist.

“Roses” is served as the first single off the album. The song is a funky track that features rhythm guitar by Chic’s Nile Rodgers, which can be listened from the clip below.

In support of VELVET, Lambert will go on the road with two massive events in the UK. The first event is Manchester Pride which will take place from August 28 to 30. The “For Your Entertainment” singer is announced as the first musical headline this year, following Ariana Grande who was the leading headliner last year.

About this year’s Pride, the singer said, “I am so excited to perform at Manchester Pride for the very first time! Something I have always wanted to do! I keep hearing that LGBTQ + representation is on fire over there and I can’t wait to be part of it and see you soon!”

The gay icon will further the promotion for the forthcoming album by bring ‘VELVET: THE TOUR’ to the capital on September 1. The gig will be played at The SSE Arena, Wembly, for which the pre-sale will be up on February 11 and the general sale on February 14 here.

Prior to his solo headline, Lambert will join Queen for the 16-day residency at The O2 for ‘The Rhapsody Tour 2020′, starting from June 2 and finishing on June 21. The tickets are available here.

Outside the music scene, Lambert recently founded The Feel Something Foundation, a non-profit organisation in support of LGBTQ+ human rights. See the post about the foundation below, and visit the official site for more information.
