2024 marks 15 years since\u00a0Adam Lambert\u00a0<\/strong>became a household name thanks to\u00a0American Idol<\/em>. And\u00a0while many other singers from the show \u2014 including some winners \u2014 have dropped out of the spotlight, Adam’s still going. In July he released a new EP, Afters<\/em>, and he’s currently making his Broadway debut in a production of Cabaret<\/em><\/a>. Adam credits his longevity in part to his devoted fans.<\/p>\n

“That is a big reason. If I didn’t have the support of my fan base, there would be no fuel in the tank,” he says of the many twists and turns his career has taken \u2014 acting, judging reality competition shows<\/a>, fronting Queen<\/strong>, doing voice-overs and more.<\/p>\n

“Honestly. I mean, we all know that. And I try to express that as much as I possibly can.\u00a0I also think I’m incredibly stubborn. I don’t really give up very easily,” he laughs. Plus, he’s pretty versatile.<\/p>\n

“You know, if I’m\u00a0gonna toot my own horn, I’m capable of a bunch of different things, and I’m going to keep exploring what those things are, because new adventures and opportunities keep coming up,” he says. “And that’s what keeps me moving. I think I would burn out if I was just trying to do the same thing all the time.”<\/p>\n

Noting all the “really cool side projects” he’s added to his resume over the years, Adam says, “For me, as a creative, just keep giving me projects and I’m a real happy camper. And I think that’s the thing that keeps me going and that’s what keeps me here.” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Adam will star as the Emcee in Cabaret at The Kit Kat Club<\/em><\/a> through March 30.<\/p>\n
