Queen + Adam Lambert at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London, UK!

“I’m so happy that I have a platform and I can create music that affects people. I wanna inspire people- whether it’s to dance or to think about social issues. It’s a great opportunity that I have. I’m just gonna try to lead by example. And being honest and being who I am. Hopefully that inspires other people to be who they wanna be. I’ve never really liked the idea of being a role model in the sense that people do what I do. I hope that I can encourage people to do what they wanna do. And to be their own person.” -Adam Lambert

“My sexuality isn’t a big deal to me, so it’s always kind of funny how blown out of proportion it seems to get. But I do feel like we’re in a time where it is important to be visible. And in that visibility- to be comfortable and proud and confident about that very topic. Because what I think it does, is it gives young people courage and some strength. And hopefully maybe by me reaching this milestone with the charts, hopefully it gives young people the encouragement to shoot for their dreams.” -Adam Lambert
