A local musician from Charlotte is taking his shot at stardom in the newest season of “American Idol.” Singer songwriter Josh King will be one of the many artists across the country auditioning for the hit singing competition.

Doug Kiker of 'American Idol' fame is dead. The 'Singing Garbage Man' made it to Hollywood, was eliminated early, then came back to sing with Rascal Flatts.
