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 AUTHOROn Season 7 of American Idol, David Archuleta made over 30 million television viewers swoon with his angelic voice, ultimately winning runner-up on the show at the age of seventeen. His journey has included turning out multiple platinum-selling hits, achieving global acclaim as a live performer, and emerging as an undeniable fixture on the pop-culture scene. Since his first single "Crush," he has released eight studio albums, twenty-four singles, and twenty-one music videos. Hit singles "Crème Brulée" and "Hell Together" have marked a striking evolution and new chapter for David as an artist and creative entrepreneur while continuing to expand his audience globally.

He now advocates for members of the LGBTQ+ community. He lives in Los Angeles, California. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tempe/david-archuleta-devout/100001996163402472 - **Event Categories**: art, entertainment, business, performances, literary-art, lgbt-pride - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Changing Hands Bookstore - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35.64, max: 35.64, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Tempe - **state**: AZ - **country**: United States - **location**: Changing Hands Bookstore - **lat**: 33.3624661 - **long**: -111.9126201 - **full address**: Changing Hands Bookstore, 6428 South McClintock Drive, Tempe, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: David Archuleta: Devout - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/d3f2cc39c45f3d472fda3c2ec3157c6a234ea477b257a987b924740e48523b80-rimg-w1200-h600-dc181818-gmir.jpg?v=1785465032 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is David Archuleta: Devout being held? - **A:** David Archuleta: Devout takes place on Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm at Changing Hands Bookstore, 6428 South McClintock Drive, Tempe, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing David Archuleta: Devout? - **A:** David Archuleta: Devout is organized by Changing Hands Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
