Out pop star and Queen front man Adam Lambert will grace the May cover of Attitude Magazine. The former American Idolist, who is putting the final touches on his third album The Original High talks to Attitude about what it’s like being out at a mainstream level:

“I think with me and Sam [Smith], there’s definitely an understanding there, like: ‘Hey gurl, how you doing?’ But you know, there’s only a few of us actually, on a mainstream level. I think we’re building a little clique, I hope, but I haven’t met that many. I mean, Elton John is amazing, what a sweetheart, and Boy George is also incredible. I’ve sat down and had lunch with him before, he’s so smart and has been though A LOT, and now he’s in a really good, healthy space, and loves music and is DJing and is still really connected to pop culture. He was really interesting to talk to.”

Adam recently teased his new single “Ghost Town” on Instagram. Hear the snippet here: https://instagram.com/p/0j75f2uNCb/
