Rest In Peace: American Idol Finalist, Michael Johns, Dead At 35 (DETAILS)
2008 American Idol finalist Michael Johns has passed away and at just 35 years old.
According to the medical reports emerging, there was a blood clot in his ankle and that could have been the cause of his death, but there is no confirmation yet.
Back in Season 7 of American Idol, the Australian-born rock n’ roll singer came in eighth during the finales. Since then, he’d released a post-Idol album titled, Hold Back My Heart, as well as a 2012 EP titled Love & Sex.
American Idol hosts Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Simon Cowell have all responded to the young star’s death via Twitter:
