Mika - 'Yes I Am Gay'

British pop star Mika has confirmed he is gay after years of questions surrounding his sexuality. Mika comes out fully in an exclusive interview with Instinct magazine. His interview will appear in the magazine's September issue. So far only this teaser has been released.

"If you ask me am I gay, I say yeah. Are these songs about my relationship with a man? I say yeah. And it's only through my music that I've found the strength to come to terms with my sexuality beyond the context of just my lyrics. This is my real life." 

The interview coincides with the unveiling of Mika’s third album The Origin of Love, released in the UK on 16 September.

Here's Mika talking briefly with Metro Weekly's Justin Stewart at the 2011 HRC National Dinner.
