I think there are a lot of different influences on it," Lambert added. "There’s rock, there’s FUNK, there’s soul, there’s disco, Seventies singer-songwriter pop and some Eighties flavours, too. That being said, there are a lot of modern influences as well, so it’s sort of a fusion." The singer was also asked to comment on Freddie Mercury being closeted. “I don’t know how ‘in the closet’ Freddie actually was,” the former American Idol contestant replied. “There were interviews where they were asking if he was gay and he was like, ‘Yeah as a daffodil…gay as a daffodil.” Lambert commented on his own experience when it comes to being out in the entertainment industry as well. "It has never been: 'These are the rules.' It’s more about the struggle and the stress of what will and will not connect, and that has changed since I started out: As a pop artist you want people to relate to you and then at some point I had to just balance all of that out with who I actually am, as an artist, as somebody who wants to express himself.” Lambert and Queen are in the midst of a European tour, and will take the stage in Vegas in September for a handful of residency dates. twitter.com/BluePurpleMusic/status/999663742827802624

Lambert, who rose to fame on US talent show American Idol before finding success as a solo artist, has been the touring frontman of Queen and replacement of Freddie Mercury with the band since 2011. Now in a new interview, he’s paid tribute to the late frontman – and spoken of the difficulty of discussing sexuality in ‘a different time’. “I don’t know how ‘in the closet’ Freddie actually was,” Lambert said, appearing on the cover of the latest issue of Attitude magazine. “I mean it was like another time where it was just taboo to even discuss it in the media. I think it might have been interpreted as him being tongue-in-cheek, but he sort of owned it from the get-go. “There were interviews where they were asking if he was gay and he was like, ‘Yeah as a daffodil… gay as a daffodil’. And I don’t know if they thought because he was being flippant about it that he wasn’t being serious. But he never really said, “No, I’m not’.” Speaking of expressing his own sexuality in the current music industry, Lambert said: “It has never been: ‘These are the rules’. It’s more about the struggle and the stress of what will and will not connect, and that has changed since I started out. “As a pop artist you want people to relate to you and then at some point I had to just balance all of that out with who I actually am, as an artist, as somebody who wants to express himself.”

Joseph Kocharian styles the singer, while Austin Hargrave captures the shoot at the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Lambert also talks to the magazine about his new music. Obviously Queen really inspired me. I don't think this album is genre-specific. I think there are a lot of different influences on it, says Lambert. The 36-year-old singer continues, There's rock, there's FUNK, there's soul, there's disco, Seventies singer-songwriter pop and some Eighties flavors, too. That being said, there are a lot of modern influences as well, so it's sort of a fusion. Regularly touring with Queen as its frontman, Lambert also discusses Freddie Mercury. Pondering if the late singer was in the closet, Lambert responds, I don't know how in the closet Freddie actually was. I mean it was like another time where it was just taboo to even discuss it in the media. Lambert continues, I think it might have been interpreted as him being tongue-in-cheek, but he sort of owned it from the get-go. There were interviews where they were asking if he was gay and he was like, Yeah as a daffodil...gay as a daffodil.
