Nineteen-year-old Greyson Chance, who struck the viral video lottery in 2010 with a clip uploaded to YouTube where he covered Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi during a middle school talent show, announced yesterday that he is gay by way of Instagram.
“I came to fully recognize that I was gay when I was sixteen,” he wrote alongside a photograph of a rainbow. “I decided not to publicize my sexuality largely due to a matter of privacy, as I was still trying to find comfort and confidence within my own skin.” Chance acknowledges that “while this message is most definitely overdue, I encourage anyone who is navigating their sexuality to devote as much time as they need to the process of finding self-confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love.”
In April, Chance signed with talent management firm Digital Brand Architects. Recent projects include a May EP titled Somewhere Over My Head and a Fullscreen docuseries chronicling his rise to fame. Chance, who appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show shortly after his viral explosion, is signed to the talk show host’s record label, eleveneleven.
