Lebanese-born British pop star Mika has come out as gay after years of media speculation about his sexuality and says the songs on his new album The Origin of Love are inspired by his love affairs with men.
He told gay publication Instinct Magazine: "If you ask me am I gay, I say yeah. Are these songs about my relationship with a man? I say yeah.
Mika also previously remarked: 'I consider myself label-less because I could fall in love with anybody - literally - any type, any body. I'm not picky.
