Adam Lambert on representing the gay community: 'It's hard and you can't please everyone'

Vocal powerhouse Adam Lambert has confessed that while he's proud to represent the gay community, it's stressful because people expect different things from him. 

During a new interview with Music Choice Play, the superstar was asked about being a role model for the LGBT community and confessed that it's a tough position to fill because representing such a strong community means that you can't please everyone:

"You can't please everybody. And everybody wants you to be a different thing for a different group. At the end of the day, I'm just a guy that wanted to sing and dress up in crazy clothes. So, it was hard for me to accept that, like it or not, I was going to be somebody that they looked at as a figure that was representing the gay community to the rest of the public."

Lambert, meanwhile, is currently on tour with Queen in north America and recently told Ryan Seacrest that now he has performed with the iconic rock group on numerous occasions he is less nervous about it because it's a high pressure situation and fans expect a lot: 

"The first time we did this in front of a big, big, big audience, I was trembling in my boots a little bit. Now it feels like we’re really, really one jelled unit. We’ve done this now, all the nerves are out. What’s good about that when we get onstage, we want to do it better every time. It kind of raises the game."
