Alex Lambert entered your homes on “American Idol” last season, but now he’s homeless.
“Ever since [starring in the Web reality series ‘If I Can Dream’] ended I’ve been kinda homeless! Sleepin’ on the street and behind buildings,” he revealed in a series of tweets on Monday night.
The 20-year-old went on to add, “I have a choice to stay and pursue my career or go back to Texas and not do music! I’m usually a strong person, but I can’t take it anymore.”
Lambert wrote that he’d been hitting coffee shops in order to update his Twitter feed for fans.
After his tweets started to get attention from media outlets and worried fans, Lambert posted another series of tweets yesterday to tell people not to worry.
“I have places to stay. I just don’t want to be a burden on anyone!” he wrote. “I have money! And soon I will have a place to stay! I just wanted to let y’all know! I’m not some rich spoiled kid! That I’ve had to hustle and grind, and I don’t mind sleepin’ on the street, as long as I get my chance!”
Lambert made it to the Top 16 round of “Idol,” before being eliminated last spring. He is said to be working on a debut album.
