Adam Lambert on role model tag: 'I’m flawed and still trying to figure myself out'

Adam Lambert has admitted that he is "flawed".

The singer is often regarded as a role model to many as a result of his strong support of gay rights.

Speaking in a new interview with Hunger, Lambert said that he has often felt under pressure by the role model label.

The US star added that he doesn't regard himself as "better" than anyone else.

The vocal powerhouse said: "In the past it felt like a lot of pressure. I’ve always said, don’t do what I do, do what you do.

"If my personal empowerment motivates someone to explore theirs, then I’m honoured. I don’t consider myself a teacher or better than anyone else, I’m flawed and still trying to figure myself out."

Speaking meanwhile about whether he feels a responsibility to continue to advance gay rights in music, Lambert said:

"I think there’s a simple power in being unapologetic and open about who and what you are and not letting it prevent you from getting what you want. In that way, I think I’ve made a statement.

"My wish is for gay to become less of a label, and more of just one of many great colours in the collective box of humanity. I’m not a separatist. I’m all inclusive."
