The mobile man, Alabama, who won his nickname singing while hung from his garbage truck of the day work, audition for the 18th season of “American Idol”, enchanting the judges with their non -affected nature and their raw talent. He obtained his ticket to Hollywood, but was fired, as many are, during the first Hollywood round.
Even so, he returned to the competition for the final episode, making a virtual presentation of his hearing song, “Bless The Broken Road”, with Rascal Flatts, the group that changed the melody for the first time by the Nitty Gritty Dirty band in a success in 2005. For that moment, the world was in Covid-19 Lockdown and the televised performance saw the singers saw and hosts and his host in his own zoom, to the judges of his own zoom, the judges and their own Kiker style, and the Kiker style, and the judges, each of the judges, and their own. The band sang together.
“Wow, all of you! I can't believe I can really sing with Rascal Flatts, “Kiker wrote on YouTube in May 2020.” They have passed so much since my first audition. I'm working to build an album! “
Kiker, who was 32, was the father of two young girls with Valerie Cook. Sister Faith Evans, who published the news of her death on Wednesday afternoon on Facebook, later replied that day the people who had asked about helping the family.
“[A]If this was completely unexpected, we are not fully prepared and we will need a little help to do it to Denver Colorado and could give the monument that not only he but anyone deserves, “Evans wrote on Wednesday night, referring to people to a gofundme that has since won more than the amount that was sought. He apologized for his delay in responding, saying that” he will charge it to our minds.
