About The BookA raw and powerful coming-out story from the beloved American Idol finalist traces David Archuleta’s journey from closeted Mormon teen to global pop star to openly queer man, revealing the hidden pressures of fame, the weight of religious expectations, and the courage it takes to live authentically.At just seventeen, David Archuleta rose to national fame as the runner-up on American Idol season seven, captivating millions with his angelic voice. Behind the scenes, however, he was struggling with a truth he feared would destroy everything: he was attracted to men—and a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.In Devout, David takes you inside his deeply personal journey as a closeted Mormon teen turned international pop star, torn between faith, fame, and identity. From dealing with the pressures of being on a hit television show to a domineering father who controlled every aspect of his career—even being banned from the show’s set—David reveals the emotional abuse and inner turmoil that he says plagued his childhood.This searing memoir reflects on David’s ventures with American Idol, a tour with Demi Lovato, and a two year sabbatical as a missionary in South America, charting his path through heartbreak, estrangement, three engagements, thoughts of suicide, and finally, his courageous decision to leave the Mormon Church in order to live authentically as a queer man. Featuring never-before-seen photos, Devout is a must-read for fans of pop culture, American Idol, and anyone deconstructing their religious upbringing, or who’s ever wrestled with who they are versus who they’re told to be.About The AuthorSince first stepping into the pop spotlight at age 17, David Archuleta has embodied the kind of genuine star power that can’t be manufactured. After years of dazzling audiences with his radiant personality and phenomenal voice—a journey that’s included turning out multiple platinum-selling hits, achieving global acclaim as a captivating live performer, and emerging as an undeniable fixture on the pop-culture scene—the Miami-born singer/songwriter experienced a major personal transformation that radically altered his identity as an artist. As shown in his recent singles “Crème Brulée” and “Hell Together,” Archuleta has dramatically expanded the landscape of his songwriting and devoted himself to making pop music with equal parts uncompromising emotion and exhilarating impact.Over the next several months David will reveal more new music, he notes that uncovering his most authentic voice has involved finding self-assurance in unexpected places. “Growing up in the church, I was taught to stand up for my beliefs and share them with the world, which is exactly what I’m trying to do with my music,” he says. “Even though I stand for something else now, I still have that same level of conviction in what I do. I believe in being bold in my vulnerability and speaking the truth of who I am, so that hopefully people can come away from my songs feeling like they understand themselves, or others, or just life in general a little better than they did before.” https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/fe8b4270-2bf4-11f1-a536-6780090db813-rimg-w490-h740-dc050505-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/miami-beach/devout-|-an-afternoon-with-david-archuleta/100001986004478858 - **Event Categories**: art, music, performances, literary-art, entertainment, pop - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 33.64, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Miami Beach - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: The Betsy Hotel - **lat**: 25.7865312 - **long**: -80.1297167 - **full address**: The Betsy Hotel, 1440 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Devout | An Afternoon with David Archuleta - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/7b95286016c01bf77aa81692b81a57dbacb5511186e7dd24cea5f5c169b2d2fd-rimg-w1200-h600-dcc5c5c5-gmir.jpg?v=1774846672 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Devout | An Afternoon with David Archuleta being held? - **A:** Devout | An Afternoon with David Archuleta takes place on Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm at The Betsy Hotel, 1440 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Devout | An Afternoon with David Archuleta? - **A:** Tickets for Devout | An Afternoon with David Archuleta are priced at USD 34 per person.
