Adam Lambert is talking about his
sexuality in an upcoming E! True Hollywood Story set to
premiere on November 21.
The one-hour special is expected to
take a look at the America Idol season 8 runner-up's meteoric
rise to fame, growing up in North San Diego County, and his decision
to come out gay.
“I'm very fortunate to have parents
that recognized that I was different and recognized how I was
special,” Lambert says on the program. “They didn't ever try to
box me it.”
American Idol judge Randy
Jackson talks about Lambert's first Idol audition: “I was
like 'Oh my God – I've been looking for this guy, where has this
guy been?'”
The special will also cover the
28-year-old rock star's decision to share his personal life with his
fans.
“My fans have been really supportive
of my choice to be open and upfront about my sexuality and my
lifestyle,” Lambert says. “I have come from the belief that
hiding something from people and manipulating what they think of you
is far more offensive and disrespectful than just being upfront and
being who you are.”
