Adam Lambert's latest shocker? Looks like he's a businessman first.

The openly gay star tweeted that he's dialing back the flamboyant man-on-man action for the Malaysian leg of his Glam Nation tour:

"While I don't believe that my glamnation tour is in any way offensive I have agreed to make a few minor adjustments out of respect for the Malaysian government. Looking forward to a fun show."

Lambert isn't the first pop star to have to alter his act when performing in the socially conservative country. Gwen Stefani decided to forego the belly-button ring and her usual stripped-down fashion statement to placate the powers that be.  

Conversely, Beyoncé axed a date in the country and instead booked a show in Indonesia rather than try to adhere to the country's stringent standards, and Christina Aguilera avoided the country altogether during a trek through the region.
