American Idol runner-up David Archuleta is detailing his struggle with his sexuality as a Mormon, which at one point led him to consider suicide. "I was almost willing to give my life up because I was so devoted to what I believed," Archuleta, 35, told People in an interview published on Wednesday, February 11. Archuleta came out as queer in 2021, one year before he left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In his new memoir - Devout: Losing My Faith to Find Myself, out on February 17 - Archuleta explained that his life was changed by a conversation with God.
