‘Putin You’re A Prick…’ Is the last tweet that
Adam had posted before I picked up the
phone to the I Breathe Again singer and
former Coronation Street actor. Something
tells me that he’s back and ready for a
fight...
So... That tweet! Tell us your thoughts...
I’m quite into current affairs and politics, and I think the whole
thing is a complete joke. He’s like some big Panto baddie, some
horrible nasty from a
Disney film. He’s there
trying to show his own
strength to his own people
and there’s no justification
for it whatsoever. The
guy’s a twat. For someone
to come out so blatantly
homophobic, but at the
same time posing for the
gayest photo shoot, riding
on a horse, is absurd. I
think it’s bad form, I really
do.
Is sexuality a big deal?
I genuinely find it
incomprehensible that in
this day and age
someone’s sexuality is still
a definition about the
person they are. You don’t
say, ‘so and so is a nice
person but they are

It’s always amazed me, because I was raised by my Mum to be
like ‘if somebody’s black and a lovely person – they’re just lovely if somebody is black and they’re an arse – they’re an arsehole!’
If somebody’s gay and they’re a lovely person… it was never about
the colour, the creed, the sexuality or anything like that…
So it amazed me when I was doing pop first time round, everyone
was asking ‘is he gay, is he gay? Well I’m not, but I’m not going to
make a big deal about it. It should be an issue.
Did you get a lot of sexuality questioning?
When I first started I didn’t. I was seen as a bit of a Lothario
because they kept getting pictures of me with girls all the time. I
kind of found all that attention a bit freaky. So I became a bit of a
hermit. Because the press didn’t have anything to print about me,
