Blue singer Simon Webbe has seen first-hand the battle for acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community, with his daughter and bandmate Duncan James both openly gay.
The «All Rise» hitmakers are back on the scene with their first new album in seven years, «Heart & Soul», set for release in September, brand new single «Haven’t Found You Yet», and a UK tour to follow in November, the Metro.co.uk reports.
According to Metro.co.uk, Simon, (43), recalled himself and the rest of Blue – also consisting of Lee Ryan and Antony Costa – having a positive reaction to Duncan James coming out.
Sharing his own personal insight to Metro.co.uk, Simon Webbe then revealed: «My daughter, Alanah, is gay as well so it’s hard for people to try and be accepted in today’s world. I think nowadays it’s a lot easier, you’ve got a lot more people you can speak to now. You can express yourself on social media and it’s not such a big deal now’».
