Adam Lambert on David Bowie: ‘He was one of the first rock stars to really push the idea that sexuality was not black and white but an exploration’

Nice to see David Bowie back on the music scene with his first new album in a decade.

Adam Lambert, who clearly learned a thing or two from Bowie when in comes to being a glam rocker,has shared with Out.com his thoughts on the music icon.

Here are some excerpts: “I didn’t really start appreciating Bowie for myself until my early twenties, when I was getting into glam rock. A light bulb went off—I wasn’t into drag, I didn’t want to dress like a woman, but I wanted to express my gender and artistic identity differently than the mainstream. Bowie was a key inspiration.”

“It was about the androgyny of mixing it up, and that was what was so incredible about his concepts — he was one of the first rock stars to really push the idea that sexuality was not black and white but an exploration.”
