As was rumored, American Idol runner up, Adam Lambert, is now on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine.
The cover story being called “The Liberation of Adam Lambert Wild Idol” due out this week, covers what we have been hearing about. Adam discusses his sexuality, and why he decided to go on American Idol.

As for why he decided to take a chance on American Idol:
“I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it’s fast and broad,”
