Okay, time to catch up. First of all, I don't really see too many mature people actually holding an absence against Adam - if he's sick and literally cannot sing, what is he supposed to do? Perform and have a good portion of the audience who isn't familiar with the material miss half of the songs because his vocals are subpar? I suppose it's easy for me to excuse the absence because I wasn't forced to suffer through Kyle Post (again), but I would hope even the tweens who had tickets for last night would realize that Mother Nature is to blame, not him.
And yes, I thought he sounded a bit off on Monday night - it's hard for me to explain, but his voice just sounded more tired and less strong than usual; he didn't go for the high riff note in Glory. In retrospect, he might have just been getting sick. Of course Adam a few steps below the top of his game vocally is still better than most other guys out there.
