QUEEN frontman Adam Lambert reflects on the progress made within the LGBTQ+ community during a recent interview.

Asked about what gives him hope today compared to his early days in music, Lambert acknowledges significant change: 'When I first came out into the music scene, there weren't really any other gay men doing mainstream pop music...

It was very slim.' However, he is proud of the role he played as part of this 'wave' that affected perceptions of LGBTQ+ individuals.

The conversation touches on past stereotypes and progress in visibility, although Lambert notes that there are still areas where acceptance is needed.

He emphasizes the importance of unity within the community and expresses concern about certain groups not acknowledging trans people as part of their umbrella.

This interview coincides with the release of his latest single, 'Eat U Alive', which is featured on his upcoming album 'Adam'.

The album marks a full exploration into various aspects of Lambert's life and artistry.

Throughout his career, he has been recognized for his bold contributions to music and other creative pursuits, earning multiple Top 10 albums and singles with hits like 'Whatya Want From Me' and 'Ghost Town.' This latest statement from Adam comes ahead of an impact summit where he will be speaking Thursday, May 14.

Lambert's sixth full-length studio album, 'Adam', is set to release on Friday, July 10 via his own label.

His latest single, the Vitalii Akimov-directed music video for 'Eat U Alive,' debuted last month and showcases Lambert's unique artistry.
