If you were listening to KIKN 100.5 Wednesday morning [February, 21, 2018] you heard Bobby Bones make a huge announcement. We knew he had been traveling back and forth to Los Angeles but were not sure why. We knew that he had been losing a 'bit more weight,' but we didn't know why. Wednesday, we found out more information!  Here's information we took from Bobby Bones.com

Now Bobby Bones is making another huge career move. Bones is joining the American Idol team this season, working directly with the Top 24 contestants to share his expertise and advice on all areas of being an artist -- covering stage presence, dealing with media, posting on social media, remaining focused and being authentic and original.
Bobby shared on his radio show this morning his feelings on the new role:

"It's very exciting for me. I'm nervous that I'm not going to give good advice. I can't say a lot about what i'm doing but I'll be working with the Top 24 contestants."

American Idol premieres Sunday, March 11 8/7c on ABC with Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan as the judges.
