Bobby Bones To Join ‘American Idol’

Bobby Bones Show leader Bobby Bones is set to join the American Idol team this season, working with the Top 24 contestants and sharing advice on areas of artistry including stage presence, working with media, and developing their brand. He will work alongside this season’s judges, which include country superstar Luke Bryan along with Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.

“It’s very exciting for me,” he said on his radio show this morning (Wednesday, Feb. 21). “I’m nervous that I’m not going to give good advice. I can’t say a lot about what I’m doing but I’ll be working with the Top 24 contestants.”

Bones recently became the youngest inductee to the National Radio Hall of Fame.

American Idol premieres Sunday, March 11 8/7c on ABC.
