What Happened To Phillip Phillips After American Idol?

During his time on "American Idol," Phillip Phillips endured extensive health complications. The singer underwent seven kidney surgeries while competing, and an eighth immediately after. In a 2012 interview with People, he shared, "It's the toughest year of my life, but it's going to be exciting, too." Phillips further explained that his health had improved, and that he was looking forward to kick-starting his career.

Phillips went on to amass a moderately successful start. His song, "Gone, Gone, Gone," reached the Top 25 and spent 30 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. However, a third single from his self-titled album failed to cross the Top 50. The entertainer also had a falling-out with "American Idol's" record label, 19 Entertainment. Phillips filed a lawsuit against the company but ultimately settled outside of court, per The Post and Courier.
