<p>I just saw this on line. </p>
<p><a href=“'American Idol' alum Michael Johns has died”>http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/08/02/michael-johns-american-idol-season-7-finalist-dies/13517573/</a></p>
<p>He was much too young to die.</p>
<p>Yes, I went for many seasons without watching AI, and he fell into that period of time that I didn’t watch, but I saw him on a David Foster tribute show, and he sang beautifully. I recognized him immediately when I saw the article. This is one of those rare but fatal outcomes of an injury which causes a blood clot. This could happen to anyone; unfortunate that it happened to him. :(</p>
