American Idol Top 16 finalist Wyatt Pike abruptly left the singing competition, and now he’s explaining why he departed a position that so many other aspiring singers would give anything to be part of. In an Wed. Apr. 14 Instagram post, he didn’t go into much detail, but told fans “I had to leave the @AmericanIdol competition for personal reasons but am so thankful I get to play music for the rest of my life.” The Utah native didn’t elaborate on what the personal reasons were.
