So that he can focus on his career right now

Adam Lambert and Drake LaBry, who’ve been dating quietly for months now, have decided to put an end to their romance so that the American Idol runner-up can focus on his career. There was no fighting, no tension, and no messy breakup, and the two still remain very good friends, Radar Online has learned.

[admark=1]Although they’ve been plagued by breakup rumors for almost an entire month, sources close to the former couple insist the end was amicable. Adam, it seems, has come to the conclusion that he can’t do both as well as he’d like to (meaning, tend to his love life and see to his career, which is just now to receive an incredible boost with the release of his debut album), so he chose to break it off with LaBry to avoid further heartache.

“Adam Lambert and Drake LaBry have called it quits. Radar Online saw the end coming when we witnessed a tiff between the two October 9 when they were out partying in Hollywood. Still, it appears that the break-up has been as amicable as these things can be in Hollywood. The American Idol runner-up and Drake, an interior designer, are both extremely well-liked and their relationship was always low-key,” Radar writes of the now-defunct romance.

Lambert’s debut album, “For Your Entertainment,” is set for release in the US on November 23, as all fans must know by now, especially following the much-praised and, at the same time, much-ridiculed album cover that hit the web last week. The first single released from it, also called “For Your Entertainment,” has been described as a delicious mix of oldie disco influences and rock ’n’ roll, in a very Glambert-specific kind of way, as we were also telling you in a previous article.

“There are echoes of Lady Gaga, countless ‘80s tunes and, during the chorus, ‘Fame.’ He doesn’t show off his vocal range until the end, when he unleashes some of his signature yells. The single was produced by Dr. Luke, who has worked with Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, Daughtry and Mos Def, and written with Claude Kelly, whose credits include collaborations with Spears, Clarkson and Miley Cyrus,” MTV said in an early review of the song.

Yesterday, it was revealed that one of the big surprises of the “For Your Entertainment” album will be the inclusion of “Time for Miracles,” off the score of “2012,” as a bonus track.
