View Date:2024-12-23 16:27:45
Alex Miller is sending his love after a heartbreaking tragedy.
The former American Idol contestant —who competed on season 19 of the singing competition show—recently shared his team's statement to social media after his tour bus was involved in a fatal crash.
"While traveling back from a vacation last night, rising country star Alex Miller and several members of his band were on a bus that was hit by a car," the Feb. 14 statement reads. "Sadly, the driver of the car is deceased. Alex sends his thoughts and prayers to the gentleman and his family."
Alex was a passenger on the tour bus, along with his band. The post also clarifies that no one from the country singer's team was hurt.
The statement concluded, "Kentucky state police are investigating."
The collision occurred at around 10:28 p.m. in Rockcastle County on Feb. 13, according to a press release shared online by Kentucky State police.
According to authorities, the 53-year-old victim of the crash, named James M. Mcpheron, lost control of his vehicle and veered into the path of the tour bus. He was transported to the hospital, per police, before succumbing to his injuries.
Alex, 20, competed on the 2021 season of American Idol and was eliminated during the showstopper round. The Kentucky native was signed to a Nashville based label, Billy Jam Records, shortly after his departure from the series, according to his website.
"I stuck to my guns," Alex said of his commitment to the country genre in a recent Instagram post. "I think that resonated with a lot of people, and I didn't throw a fit when they cut me, I just, ‘Thank you so much for this opportunity' and this, that and the other."
