Yungblud Says Identifying as Pansexual Gives Him ‘the Most Room’ to ‘Manuever’

The LGBTQ+ community is rife with labels, but Yungblud is offering up one that best describes his sexuality in a new interview: “I’m the f–king saucepan.”

Speaking with Attitude on Thursday (July 3) for its latest cover story, the 27-year-old rocker spoke at length about identifying as pansexual, which he says has helped him grow into the person he is today. “It’s the [label] that allows me to be who I am; it’s the one with the most room for maneuver,” he says. “I do feel like I am less insecure about it.”

That doesn’t mean Yungblud’s OK with the amount of discourse that happens around pansexuality, which he called “a f–king simmering pan” in his conversation. “The hardest thing [is] to have my authenticity questioned, because I’ve only ever been myself,” he explained.

The “Zombie” singer originally came out as pan in an Attitude interview in 2020 interview, in which he expressed trepidation about speaking publicly on his identity. “I’m still quite weird about going ‘This is what I am’ to the world because I’ve never really said it,” Yungblud said at the time. “I know it’s such a massive statement to me, but probably, yeah, I think I would [consider myself part of the LGBTQ+ community]. I haven’t said that yet because I don’t want some mad article everywhere going, ‘Yungblud comes out as f–king pan!’”

Elsewhere in his Attitude interview, the singer spoke about BludFest, his U.K.-based music festival, and the importance of curating an inclusive environment for both the fans watching the show and the artists on the lineup. “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,” he said. “I think that’s what I feel most proud of when we talk about Pride.”
