“American Idol” is bringing some of its more successful alumni back into the fold to help out the new crop of talent in Season 13.
The long-running FOX singing competition has tapped Chris Daughtry and Adam Lambert as mentors for the show’s new phase called Randy Jackson’s “Boot Camp,” Daughtry reveals himself.
The singer couldn’t keep his and Lambert’s participation a secret, tweeting, “Hanging with @Adamlambert at the #idol workshop. Glad to be back! Stay tuned…”
According to Daughtry, the “Boot Camp” phase — a two-day workshop aimed at allowing America “to get to know the contestants before they vote for the first time” — will air on February 18 and 19. “American Idol” airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
