Thinking man’s pop star Mika has revealed he’s received a death threat over his sexuality.

The singer refused to discuss whether he’s gay or not, preferring to let his camp pop do the talking – but such a stance has made some fans furious.

He reveals, “I get hate messages all the time, even a death threat. It was over whether I am gay or not. (A fan) wasn't happy that I won't talk about my personal life like that.

"Sometimes I think that I have made it, other times it is a bit worrying.”
