SIMMONS: 'LAMBERT KILLED HIS CAREER BY COMING OUT'
AMERICAN IDOL runner-up ADAM LAMBERT has ruined his budding career by coming out as gay, according to rock legend GENE SIMMONS.
Lambert ended weeks of speculation by declaring his sexuality just days after he lost the 2009 show finale to Kris Allen.
Simmons insists he should have kept the information to himself, because his homosexuality will now overshadow everything he ever does.
The KISS star tells AOL, "He killed his career because now the conversation is not about his talent but about his sexual preference. He's done.
"I hope I'm completely wrong. I hope he becomes the next Beatles and proves me wrong."
It's not all bad news for Lambert - Simmons recently invited him to join his band on tour, telling reporters, "Adam was fantastic. What a powerful and attractive man he is. He can come on tour whenever he’d like."

The media and slime like Perez asked and Adam
Lambert answered. If you can't handle the answer
then don't ask the question. Adam Lambert is a super talented artist and will
be a superstar. He is so refreshing. Gene Simmons is just pissed off because
when Adam and Kiss performed EVERYONE was watching Adam, not Simmons.
Jealously is such a pathetic thing Gene. It's making you look really bad. You
should have been embracing Adam instead of trying to take him down. Adam is
brillant. Even Gene Simmons can't stop talking about him. HA
This story is a fabricated bunch of crap. The last paragraph/quote is totally
out of context and date- he did not just recently say he's a handsome man and
can come on tour with them - he said this the day after the Idol finale. Get
your facts correct before posting. Gene Simmons is out of touch with anything
that has nothing to do with Gene Simmons. The focus is currently on Adam and
his "duel albums" coming out this year and nobody except Gene is focusing on
his sexuality anymore. Perhaps Gene wants a piece of Adam's action.
