Mika opens up over his sexuality

Singer Mika has confirmed he is gay.

The Grace Kelly hitmaker, who previously claimed to be bisexual, has refused to talk about his love life in the past, preferring to keep it private, but Mika now reveals his music has helped him come to terms with his sexuality.

He tells Instinct Magazine, "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."

Mika previously insisted he could see the beauty in both sexes and was able to fall in love with both men and women.
