The 29 year old singer was involved in an argument in a Helsinki bar with his boyfriend, a Finnish reality TV star. Their quarrel became physical and the pair were arrested, questioned then later released by authorities, according to media reports. Lambert, whose colorful costumes and makeup earned him the nickname "Glambert," released his newest single "Better Than I Know Myself" on Tuesday (December 20).
