Adam Lambert has been announced as the official headliner of this year’s Pride in London concert and has also released the event’s official song.
The former GAY TIMES cover star teamed up with producer Sigala on the track, which is a cover of the 1978 anthem ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)’ by Sylvester.
He will take to the stage on 1 July, with further performers to be announced in due course.
Pride in London’s CEO, Christopher Joell-Deshields, said: “We’re thrilled talented pop vocalist and Queen collaborator, Adam Lambert, has chosen to launch his latest single, ‘You Make Me Feel Mighty Real’, as the official song for this year’s Pride in London.
“Adam’s songs are all about inspiring others to be who they truly are, which couldn’t be more fitting following the launch of our campaign, ‘Never March Alone’, which shows allyship for the trans community.
“We cannot wait to see Adam and other talented artists from the LGBT+ community come together on 1st July live across our stages.”
