Mika confirms sexuality: "I am gay"

Mika has clarified his sexuality and has stated that he is gay.

The 'We Are Golden' star recently sat down with Instinct magazine to discuss his sexuality following a 2009 interview which quoted him as saying that he was bisexual.

The singer is said to have called the interview, which was published in a Dutch magazine, "disappointing".

Speaking to Instinct, Mika said that he is gay and that he has used his music to fully "come to terms" with his own sexuality. He said:

"If you ask me am I gay, I say yeah. Are these songs about my relationship with a man? I say yeah. And it's only through my music that I've found the strength to come to terms with my sexuality beyond the context of just my lyrics. This is my real life."

Mika's forthcoming new album, 'The Origin of Love', is due to be released on September 16.
