Adam Lambert made headlines when controversy hit his run on "American Idol" following the release of photos of him kissing another man. It took until after the end of the competition for Lambert to publicly come out, but in truth Lambert knew he was gay as early as the 6th grade.
Now, VH1's "Behind The Music" aims to look into the life of Lambert, from his upbringing to his stint on musical tours to his meteoric rise to fame after "American Idol." As is the "Behind The Music" way, the show will feature new revelations and never-before-seen footage of Lambert to help shed a light on his struggles as an artist and as a gay man in the public's eye.
