Former "American Idol" finalist Adam Lambert has brushed
off his arrest over a bar brawl in Finland, blaming his bad
behaviour on travel, booze and "irrational confusion" and
adding "lesson learned" on Twitter.
"Jetlag+Vodka=blackout. Usblackout=irrational confusion.
jail+guilt+press=lesson learned. Sauli+Adam+hangover burgers=
laughing bout it. :)," Lambert tweeted to fans.
The "Whataya Want From Me" singer, 29, was involved in an
argument in a Helsinki bar with his boyfriend, Finnish
reality TV star Sauli Koskinen. Their quarrel became physical
and the pair were arrested, questioned then later released by
authorities, according to media reports.
Koskinen also addressed the incident on his blog, writing in
Finnish, "publicity is not easy. But celebrities are only
human people."
Lambert, whose colorful costumes and makeup earned him the
nickname "Glambert," rose to fame in 2009 on US singing
contest "American Idol," but lost in the final round of the
No. 1-rated TV show to Kris Allen.
Despite being the runner-up, Lambert forged a solid career
and now enjoys a loyal following as a singer. His single
"Better Than I Know Myself" was released on Tuesday, and is
currently at No. 30 on the iTunes singles chart.
