Phillip Phillips Had Eight Surgeries During American Idol
During his time on American Idol, it was no secret that Phillip Phillips was suffering from pain associated with his kidney problems. He skipped the Ford commercials as they were too taxing on his body and has had problems since his start on the show. Still, he stuck it out in order to win the competition. Despite that, he has revealed that he had thoughts on leaving the show — because the pain had gotten to be too much.
Now, we've learned that Phillip has actually gone through eight surgeries during his time on the show. Who knew?!? His father revealed the news in a new interview on Thursday. Phillip Phillips Sr. said, "He's been doing well, but it's just grueling hours and it's just amazing what he's done through the journey."
His father went on to say, "They've just seen a glimpse of what Phillip can do. We can't wait to get him well and one hundred percent and really see how he can perform."
We hope he gets well soon that his sexy self can put out an album already.
