Idolobit: Michael Johns

Michael Johns, an Australian who did fairly well on American Idol, had died.

Johns came 8th in the final of the 2008 season of American Idol. After the competition, he released a couple of albums - Hold Back My Heart sold 20,000 copies in the US; the follow-up Love & Sex wasn't quite as successful as that.

Michael Johns died August 2nd; the cause is believed to be a bloodclot on the ankle.
