He was hospitalized for 79 days but made a full recovery.
Platinum tickets were first introduced in American idol Season 20 to commemorate the show’s 20th anniversary. However, only three judges – Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie – get to choose the winner. They selected eventual runner-up Hunter Girl, and top ten finalists Jay Copeland and Kenedi Anderson (who later withdrew from the competition). Ticket winners will receive the privilege of skipping the first round of the challenging Hollywood Week. Last season, the winner also got to choose his partner in the doubles competition.

this American idol USA Platinum Voting is a great way to engage fans from the start of the contest. Voting usually doesn’t take place until after the live broadcast, so it’s exciting for fans to be able to have their say before the show airs.
