Adam Lambert has opened up on how he has matured in the last few years.

The singer was thrown into the limelight after appearing on TV talent show American Idol in 2009 and soon after he released his debut album, 'For Your Entertainment'.

Speaking to the BBC, Lambert said that his new album 'Trespassing' is the result of being brought back "down to earth". He said:

"I've grown up a lot in the past couple of years. This whole lifestyle: Idol, having my first album and touring - it forces you to face certain things and it definitely caused me to mature."

He continued: "After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place."
