GQ Hype Adam Lambert: ‘The first time I experienced homophobia was in the theatre world’Every week, we ask one band or artist a set of quick-fire questions that all start with ‘the first’, from their first shows and paycheques to the first time they fell in love. Up this week is Adam Lambert, the American Idol contestant turned adopted Queen frontman, who covers everything from the first time he got drunk to what it's like being a gay icon In the ten years since appearing as a contestant on American Idol, Adam Lambert has achieved more than most musicians do in a lifetime. From a Grammy nomination and a credit on an upcoming animated blockbuster (Playmobil: The Movie), to becoming the first ever openly gay American man to top the US charts, all of his accolades are impressive, but none quite so extraordinary as his work with Queen, who adopted him as a frontman back in 2011. Since, Lambert and the band have toured the world twice over, released a documentary and delivered an explosive performance at this year’s Oscars. Stepping into Freddie Mercury’s (white Adidas) shoes may be no mean feat, but as the critical acclaim proves, Lambert pulls it off with all the sass and aplomb you’d expect from one of our era’s greatest gay icons. And he does it in fierce, patent, black pointed boots. In honour of the release of Lambert’s latest single, “New Eyes”, we managed to catch him during a brief London stopover so as to ask a whole host of questions all starting with the first. From high school drama and the first time he fell in love to fake news and his first show with Queen, the singer gives GQ the download on all his formative experiences... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne79MuCbgmQThe first time you realised you wanted to be a musician...“When I was a kid I was really precocious. I had a lot of energy, I was borderline obnoxious. Lots of ideas, I wanted to play dress up all the time, so they put me in a children’s theatre company. So I knew then that I wanted to be a performer and then when I was 14 doing a production of Fiddler On The Roof and I had a big solo where I had to hold this really long note and everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s really good.’ That was the first time I’d realised that I was good at singing, so it was then that I thought, ‘Oh, I like this, maybe I’m supposed to be doing this.’ That was with theatre stuff, but it wasn’t until I was in my early twenties that I became really into making my own music, playing around with GarageBand on my computer.” The first time you played live with Queen...“The first time playing with Queen was on the American Idol finale, where they were invited to come on. I had auditioned with ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, so the producers were like, ‘Oh, this would make sense.’ Two years later, after I’d put out my first album and toured, they asked me to come and do a big medley performance with them at the EMAs in Belfast. That was the start of working together.” The first time you felt properly in love..."I was 24. I mean, I had definitely fallen in love with plenty of people, but it was a the first time it was reciprocal and I was in a proper relationship. I think I had a lot of unrequited love before that, you know like when you fall in love with your good friend and you don't tell them that you're into them... I had that happen to me a few times, but properly at 24 and it was about a two year relationship." The first time you realised people see you as a gay icon...“Just as Idol wrapped up there was all this chatter, magazine articles being written about ‘is he or isn't he’, because at that point I wasn't in the closet – I’d been out since I was 18 – but it wasn't part of the show. They never asked me, it wasn't part of my narrative, not because I asked it not to be or anything, it just wasn't. And then there was all the speculation, pictures that came out of me with my ex. Back then when you were on the show you couldn't talk to the press and we didn't have social media. So as soon as the show was over I addressed it and that was on the Rolling Stone cover. From there it just became part of my story. And at the time, I think because there weren't a lot of openly gay people in the mainstream media – especially the music industry, in America anyway – it was this big deal. The media loved it, it's all they wanted to talk about, which I know now was important. It definitely moved the needle for me and a lot of people. Obviously things are so, so different now, ten years on. To be able to help something greater than myself, that felt good.“ Read more... www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/adam-lambert-interview-2019
