Go inside the world of Adam Lambert with Vh1, as Behind the Music explores the American Idol alum’s rise to fame.
Debuting on August 7, the special will chronicle Lambert’s personal and professional life over the years. From realizing he was gay in the 6th grade, to coming out at 18-years old and moving to Hollywood, the singer’s closest friends and family weigh in on his fascinating journey.
At age 19, Lambert landed a gig on the European tour of Hair, exposing him to a whole new world of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. In the eight years that followed, the future glam-rocker was cast in various stage productions, including Wicked. At 27-years old, Lambert auditioned for the iconic Fox reality series for which he is now known, and quickly became a household name. Still, becoming an Idol finalist was only the beginning.
Also featured in the one-hour docuseries is never-before seen home video footage and interviews with industry experts and musical bigwigs. Guests include Lambert’s parents, childhood pal Scarlett Cherry, Island Def Jam exec. Barry Weiss, Idol’s Season 8 winner Kris Allen and The Hollywood Reporter’s very own Idol expert, Shirley Halperin.

Adam Lambert fans just can’t wait for his new album to land.
We recently ran a poll to find out what our readers are looking forward to the most this year and it was Adam’s forthcoming album that received the most votes.
In at second place we had the next instalment of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn (part one).
The third most anticipated moment in the world of film, music and TV was the release of new music by Allison Iraheta.
In fourth place was ensemble movie New Year’s Eve. Reading and Leeds festival bagged fifth place.
In last place we had the X Factor 2011 – it doesn’t sound like people are very excited about the new judging panel.
As Glamberts eagerly await Adam Lambert's sure-to-be-awesome sophomore album, a "new" Adam track, "Live The Life," has seemingly materialized out of nowhere. Maybe it was beamed in directly from Planet Fierce to tide Adamaniacs over until Mr. Lambert returns with some official post-For Your Entertainment material for our entertainment.
Actually, the real story is "Live The Life" is not a new song after all. The clubby, dancey track dates back to Adam's pre-"American Idol" days, and was co-penned by Adam and J. Scott G., a San Diego-based electronic music producer. The day after Adam placed second on the Season 8 "Idol" finale (May 21, 2009), J. posted a blog on his MySpace page titled "J. Scott G. Wins The Music Lottery (J. Scott G. collaborates with Adam Lambert)," about what he believed was the song's imminent release.
Adam Lambert has turned the tables on the paparazzi – by papping them!
The sexy singer was out and about in LA with Sauli Koskinen. As the pair left The Grove (where the reportedly caught a film), surrounded by paps, Adam used his own camera to take photos of the photographers.
It’s nice to see Adam with a huge smile plastered across his face and he looked like he was having a blast pointing his camera at the paparazzi.
Charles Robbins from The Trevor Project & Joel Flatow from the RIAA present Adam with a plaque on March 10th 2011.It was to commemorate his singular devotion to inspiring and helping save young lives.
