In his interview, the star, known for songs like ‘I Was Made for Lovin’ You’ and ‘I Think I’m OKAY’, described himself as so pan that he’s, in fact, “the fucking saucepan.”

“The hardest thing [is] to have my authenticity questioned” – Yungblud

“I am the pan man — I’m the fucking saucepan,’ the 27-year-old told us. “Because it’s the [label] that allows me to be who I am; it’s the one with the most room for manoeuvre. Do you know what I’m saying? I do feel like I am less insecure about it.”

The star furthermore addressed discourse around his sexual orientation, calling it a “fucking simmering pan” and adding “the hardest thing [is] to have my authenticity questioned, because I’ve only ever been myself.”

On the inclusive nature of his music festival, BludFest, Yungblud also added: “I think that’s what deserves the most credit, in terms of how many young people are allowed to feel safe in our space, or come out in our space, or really feel loved in our space.

“I think that’s what I feel most proud of when we talk about Pride.”
