Fifteen years ago, on Jan. 20, 2009, I wrote for the first time (admittedly somewhat fawningly/cringe-worthily) about Adam Lambert, when his Season 8 American Idol audition aired.
And not to gloat too much, but history has proven that I was totally right about him. And I never quite stopped fawning. How has it been 15 years already?
So, to celebrate a decade and a half of Glambertmania, below I have compiled all of the interviews I’ve done with Lambert over the years, from our first conversation at CenterStaging in Burbank at the Idols Live! tour rehearsals, all the way through to 2023′s chat about his most recent album, the full-circle covers collection High Drama.
Here’s to many more years, and congratulations to Adam for all of his success so far.
