Clay Aiken REACTS to His American Idol Audition as He Makes Music Return | ET Then & Now
Clay Aiken sits down with ET’s Cassie DiLaura for ET’s Then & Now, 23 years after becoming an ‘American Idol’ fan favorite. Following his return to the ‘Idol’ stage for the season 24 finale on ABC (now streaming on Hulu) to perform his first new single in 18 years, ‘Rewind’ (out now), Clay takes ET back to where it all began. From his original audition and first live performance, to fatherhood, coming out and his two runs for congress, the now-47-year-old opens up about his personal and professional journey after a long hiatus from music and becoming disillusioned with politics.
