Hey Phillip Phillips fans, don’t you worry…your man is alright and will be ready and on stage when the American Idol tour kicks off July 6 in Detroit.
“Ready to start jammin with the band on tour!” Tweeted Phillips Monday night, despite recent doubts that the season 11 Idol winner would be able to start the tour with the rest of the top 10.
Phillips was set to undergo kidney surgery right after he was crowned the Idol winner. That surgery which would have sidelined him for a while was recently postponed. Apparently, Phillips is now undergoing alternative steps instead and will not need any recuperation time.
An insider tells E News that Phillips “is being treated and doing well,” though the exact nature of his treatment is being kept under wraps.
“He will still be attending all the tour dates and is really looking forward to the launch on July 6,” the tour rep says.
It’s nice to get some good news from the Phillips camp…stay well big guy!
