Conchita Wurst: Singer. Model. And now published author.
In Berlin on Monday, Conchita launched her new book “Being Conchita: We are Unstoppable,” two weeks after the launch of her new single “You are unstoppable.”
In the new book, Conchita recounts her life as a young boy and her journey growing up to becoming one of the world’s most famous drag queens. From the whispering behind her back when she was young, to her Eurovision victory, Conchita shares all of the experiences that have shaped her life.
The book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon and is set to be released on May 7th.
At the Monday launch, Conchita spoke about her coming out experience, in which she told a newspaper before she told her parents.

Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“It wasn’t done unwillingly,” she said. “I had this short moment of, ‘what do I do now? Do I lie or am I my own person?’ So I decided to say what it was.
“I wouldn’t recommend that, if anyone is thinking of doing so. Not the newspaper first and then the parents,” she added in a word of advice, “The other way round is somehow nicer.”
In addition to the new book, Conchita announced the pre-orders for her first post-Eurovision album. The album will be released on March 17th, but you can pre-order the album now on Amazon.
