American Idol runner up Adam Lambert has said taking LSD helped him realise his dream of becoming a pop star.

However the controversial singer denied that he saw Simon Cowell during the acid trip.
 
Speaking to The Metro he said:
 
“My trip led me to some epiphanies about who I was as a performer, what I wanted to do and how I needed to create my own opportunities.
 
“When I got home, I started writing music with other people and went to the Idol audition. The vision was about finding opportunities. I wasn’t sitting in the desert in rave-wear thinking about Simon Cowell when I was on acid.”
 
In the same interview Lambert was also asked about his now infamous American Music Awards performance.
 
 

He recounted the event saying:

“I was performing For Your Entertainment, which is a little frisky, and some people thought I took it too far. I kissed a guy and there was some sexual choreography that got people going.

 
“Some people thought it was too in your face. As a viewer, I’ve been watching female performers express their sexuality on stage for more than 20 years.”
 
But the star said he can’t win either way. He told The Metro about a recent photoshoot where he sucked a woman’s breast, saying:
 
“People said I was trying to act straight but it was just a photoshoot, not a statement on my life. There’s all this homoerotic stuff in the media, I did heteroeroticism and got criticised for it.”
