'American Idol' alum C.J. Harris, who competed on Season 13, died Sunday at age 31 following a medical emergency, a spokesperson for the Walker County Coroner confirmed to USA TODAY.
“I grew up in the church, playing gospel music and singing in the choir. I guess I was a little nervous to go on ‘Idol,’ because I didn’t know if I was prepared. I didn’t have the training,” Harris“Now, when I get on stage in front of these crowds, it doesn’t matter if I have my eyes closed. I don’t have to keep a camera view. I can calm down, relax and be myself.
Ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to see those lights on stage. Every time I get into my bed right after a show, I still can’t believe I’ve been on stage. I’m having a lot more fun than I did on the TV show."died at 23 after hitting the rear end of a tractor-trailer that was stopped on the shoulder of an interstate, according to reports by ABC News and NBC News citing a Tennessee Highway Patrol report. He finished in second place on Season 19.
