David Archuleta to Pen Memoir on Coming Out and Faith Journey

The former 'American Idol' star aims to shed light on the struggles of coming out in religious communities through his upcoming book.

Former 'American Idol' star David Archuleta has signed a deal to write a memoir detailing his journey from a religious upbringing to coming out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
The memoir will also explore Archuleta's experiences growing up as a devout Mormon, achieving fame as a teenager on 'American Idol', and his decision to pause his music career for a Mormon mission in Chile.
Archuleta hopes his story will help others understand the struggles of coming out in religious communities and encourage self-love.
The singer has faced criticism for discussing his sexuality publicly, including an incident where concert-goers walked out of his performance in Utah.
No release date for the memoir has been announced yet.
