The American Idol the winner will be interviewed by Nancy O’Dell for TalkShopLive where the singer said he told the staff of his decision in January.
“I talked to them because I was like, ‘Guys, I need you to know what’s happening. It’s either I can’t continue the show or I gotta go East Coast,” she recalled. “Covid, pointed out [that] being isolated and so far away from your family… that’s not good for anyone. And my family is East Coast, they’re based in North Carolina. So it’s one of those things where I just have to… and there’s also a lot of personal stuff going on.”

The Ever since you disappeared the singer said the move was “100 percent my idea and it’s really cool that NBC supported me because I was like, ‘Y’all, I want to do this show. I really do. I don’t even know which i will but i have to make a change for me and my family. any chance we can do it? i know we can’t do it from my ranch so any chance we can do it in new york [because] it’s closer to my family.’ That’s really the main reason.”
