“American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert has told Rolling Stone magazine he is gay, answering a question that followed the singer for months since he gained millions of fans on the No. 1 U.S. TV talent show. Skip related content
“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” Lambert told the music magazine in excerpts from an interview released Tuesday as it was announced that he had secured a record contract with his debut album due out in fall.
“I’m proud of my sexuality,” he said. “I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.”
Lambert, who was widely considered the front-runner going into the finale, had never publicly said he was gay. In March, when photos appeared on the Internet of him kissing another man and dressed in drag, he said only: “I have nothing to hide. I am who I am.”
His sexuality became an issue widely covered in the media because “Idol,” seen by an average of about 26 million viewers a week in 2009, had never crowned an openly gay winner.
