Adam has also appeared in many TV shows, serving as a judge on The X Factor Australia and Clash of the Cover Bands. He was also a coach for The Voice Australia season 13. In addition, Adam has showcased his acting chops in the TV show Glee.

In 2012, Adam became the frontman for the legendary band Queen and had several worldwide tours with them. Adam’s most recent endeavors include making his Broadway debut in 2024 as the Emcee in Cabaret. Up next, he’ll star as Judas in the Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar on August 1, opposite Cynthia Erivo as Jesus. This might help Adam through his breakup with Oliver.

Breakups are never easy, especially when they happen in the public eye.

Both Adam and Oliver are wished all the best as they begin this new chapter of their lives.
