Luke Bryan Leaving ‘American Idol’: May He Be Let Go From New Season?

Luke Bryan joined American Idol as a decide for season 16, similtaneously Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.

The present was revived following its “farewell” season, after followers demanded its return.

The trio have been beloved by followers, with many suggesting they’re the right steadiness of judges.

However in February 2024, Katy Perry introduced that the upcoming season of the present could be her final. The bombshell announcement was apparently made with none warning given to Luke and Lionel.

A number of months later, Leisure Tonight caught up with Luke and he admitted that he didn’t know his destiny with the present. Actually, nobody is aware of who can be again subsequent season!

“It’s been attention-grabbing,” the nation star stated of Idol‘s modifications for the upcoming season. “It’s been one thing Disney been actually tightlipped about with me and Lionel and [host] Ryan [Seacrest]. We presently haven’t heard what the story is on who’s coming again, and if Lionel and I are coming again. I believe Disney is simply making an attempt to determine what they need to do and we’re simply sort of sitting again and ready till they resolve.”

Luke Bryan Could Really Need Out Of ‘Idol’

After the information of Katy leaving dropped, followers began circulating one other interview Luke gave to Leisure Tonight in June 2023.

He confessed that he didn’t have an awesome work-life steadiness, particularly in terms of spending time together with his spouse and children.

“I’m probably not balancing it that nicely this yr,” he shared. Referring to his spouse, he added, “I’m like, ‘Child, this can be a tough yr, let’s simply get by way of it after which we’ll discover a boat and go to the Caribbean or one thing.’”

Because the rumor behind Katy’s exit means that she is hoping to have one other child with Orlando Bloom, some are questioning if the identical might be stated of Luke.

So, perhaps he’s prepared to go away the present to spend extra time together with his household? If it’s an excellent factor for him, then we wish it for him!

When requested about it in 2023, he confessed his plan was to stay “actual lively” professionally heading into 2024.

However past that? All good issues should come to an finish, they are saying!

What about Lionel Richie and Ryan Seacrest?

Once more, no official announcement has been made about anybody leaving the present.

Heck, ABC didn’t even verify Katy was leaving — although since she made the announcement herself, it’s just about a achieved deal.

Regardless of Luke’s guessing, we expect Lionel is fairly protected.

As for Ryan Seacrest, together with his new gig internet hosting Wheel of Fortune, there’s some noise that he might be leaving American Idol by the autumn to deal with that.

Then once more, the man juggled two TV reveals earlier than, they usually have been on totally different coasts! (R.I.P Kelly and Ryan…)

Chances are high, so long as Idol is on the air, Seacrest can be on the helm!

As for Luke, we hope no matter occurs, it’s what’s proper for everybody concerned!
