‘American Idol’ winner Phillip Phillips was released from the hospital on Sunday and is continuing to recover from a six-hour surgery that took place last Wednesday in Los Angeles.
The talented musician was plagued all season long with bouts of severe pain caused by kidney stones. He underwent a total of eight medical procedures during the competition that were considered short term measures.
After some rest the musician will join this season’s top 10 contestants when they kick off their 45-show summer tour. He is scheduled to open the ‘American Idols Live’ concert in Detroit on July 6.
He tweeted, “I’m out of the hospital and back to work! Looking forward to the future.”
