Allen: 'Lambert is who he is'

American Idol winner Kris Allen has praised Adam Lambert for his openness.

The talent show runner-up, who it has been reported will be coming out as gay in an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, has said that "all your questions will be answered" in regards to his sexuality, says People.

Allen has admitted that he will "support him in whatever he does".

"I think he's happier that he can be himself and it's nice. Adam is who he is and he's not afraid. I support him in whatever he does."

The 23-year-old also called the rumoured relationship between Lambert and Drake LaBry a "cool combination" because the two have opposite personalities.

"Drake's from Louisiana and Adam is from LA. But they click well and they're really nice together," he added.

Lambert had previously stated that people would have to "keep speculating" about his sexual preference, promising "once and for all" that it will be addressed in the music magazine.
