WILL YOUNG will perform on the live final of the US version of Pop Idol — a huge boost as he tries to make it in America.
The UK Pop Idol winner will fly out to LA early next week to meet up and rehearse with the American hopefuls.
A spokesman for Will said: “This is a great move for him. It will be the first time America has seen and heard him live and the biggest audience Will has ever played to.
“American Idol is the hottest show on TV over there. It has an audience of up to 20million and for the final you can expect many more to tune in.
“This is the biggest showcase ever for Will. He’s going to be an even bigger star now.”<br>
The winner will be decided on September 3 by a public vote and Will is set to appear on that show.
He will then join the last ten wannabes in the winners’ showcase programme the next day. Will has been added to the group as a special request of Fox, the broadcasting company behind American Idol.
He may even perform a duet with the eventual winner.
