British singer-songwriter Mika has come
out gay.
The 28-year-old Mika has previously
said he's bisexual.
He commented on his sexuality in a 2009
interview with Dutch glossy Gay & Night: “I've never
ever labeled myself. But having said that; I've never limited my
life, I've never limited who I sleep with … Call me whatever you
want. Call me bisexual, if you need a term for me.”
And he later told This Is London:
“I consider myself label-less because I could fall in love with
anybody – literally – any type, any body. I'm not picky.”
Mika, whose third studio album The
Origin of Love is set for a September 16 release, talks about his
relationship for the first time in the September issue of Instinct.
“If you ask me am I gay, I say yeah.
Are these songs about my relationship with a man? I say yeah. And
it's only through my music that I've found the strength to come to
terms with my sexuality beyond the context of just my lyrics. This
is my real life,” Mika
said.
