Adam Lambert Thanks His Fans, Sports Facial Hair

For the last few weeks, Adam Lambert has been a man on a mission.

In late August, he posted a video online and asked fans to donate to DonorsChoose.org, a charity that supports public schools by providing them with equipment and supplies.

Now, the American Idol runner-up - whose debut CD is already number-one on Amazon - has created another video, this one thanking fans for all their donations. Below, he says:

“I am unbelievably moved by the generosity and resolve of my fans, who have donated beyond what I could have ever expected to help students around the country. Although I was on tour during the length of the competition, I frequently checked in on the challenge progress and was so amazed to see the number of donors and total amount donated continue to rise and rise."

Thank You, Fans!

Forget the message in the video for a moment, and let's focus on Lambert himself.

What do you think of his new facial hair?!?
