In a February 2023 Instagram Live, Adam Lambert said he was taking an anti-anxiety medication that had made him a bit heavier. In his more recent update, he revealed he had also been on antidepressants for a time. But Lambert shared that using Mounjaro had a wonderful ripple effect; when he lost weight, his mental health improved, as did his physical well-being. “I feel better; I feel more confident. I feel like my actual body feels better; my digestive system feels more regulated.”
Lambert previously gained enough weight that fans took notice. In a February 2023 “Today” interview, he said the criticism of his body began after he dropped his “Holding Out for a Hero” music video that January. “I thought to myself, ‘I’m fully aware I’m not the same size I was five years ago,'” he said, adding that he would like his fans to stop commenting on his weight. When an user on X, formerly known as Twitter, did not heed his plea and complained he was “getting too fat,” the Queen frontman fired back by revealing he was already far along in his weight loss journey. He also perfectly punctuated his clapback with the title of one of his songs, writing, “I just lost 20 pounds b***h! Hahah WHATAYA WANT FROM ME.”
