Superstar Adam Lambert found fame after appearing on 'American Idol' and he has revealed that it'll be a shame to see the programme end, but it has come to a natural stop. 

Speaking to Billboard recently, the vocal sensation addressed the upcoming end of the show and explained that it'll be sad to see it go, but he feels as though it's the right time for it to finish:

"It's an end of an era, Idol will always go down in history for what it is and what it did and what it represents for people. It came long at a time when I think we, as a country, we needed to come together and we needed to believe in something hopeful and give underdogs a chance and celebrate music and the diversity of music in our country. I think they did a great job, and it's time to pack it up."

At the beginning of 2016, it was revealed that Lambert had topped Forbes magazine's 'American Idol' rich list for 2015 after banking a total of $10 million (£6.7 million) last year.
