But the American Idol alum has admitted touring hasn’t been the easiest for him to do. Archuleta, 31, has been very public in discussing his crisis of faith as he tries to reconcile that faith with his personal identity.
In the summer of 2021, he came out on Instagram as a member of the LGBTQ community. This year, he’s released new music and has this tour.
But living authentically has been a challenge for the singer who stepped away from his Mormon background. Before his show in North Texas, Archuleta discussed how he’s embraced his authentic self while navigating his faith and the trauma that came with it. Dallas Voice: Congratulations on the new tour.
