John Foster has been captivating audiences on American Idol ever since his unforgettable audition, where he wowed the judges with his powerful performances of “Goodbye Time” and “Don’t Rock the Jukebox.” Right away, Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan saw something special in him. Each week, he’s continued to impress, with standout moments like his high-energy rendition of “Jailhouse Rock.” As his fanbase grows, so does the curiosity about his personal life, prompting Foster to take a moment to address a few of the rumors floating around online.
In a recent Facebook post, John connected with his followers, setting the record straight on some misinformation. He clarified that he’s 18 years old, not 24, as some have speculated, and that he hails from Addis, Louisiana, not Benton, Kentucky—a place he’s never even been.
He also took the time to debunk rumors about being related to country icon Dwight Yoakam or being signed to Sugar Hill Records. While he admits the rumors are flattering, he wanted to be upfront with his fans and reassure them that these claims are simply not true.
With a genuine appreciation for his supporters, Foster encouraged fans to reach out with any questions they might have, assuring them that either he or someone close to him would be happy to respond.
John’s humble approach and sincere connection with his audience continue to win hearts, both on and off the stage. As he gears up for the Ladies Night episode on May 4, his spot in the American Idol Top 10 is more solid than ever, propelled by his undeniable talent, authenticity, and growing bond with his fans.
