Season two “American Idol” runner-up Clay Aiken has spent much of the past 18 years away from music. In 2024, Aiken appeared in season eleven of “The Masked Singer” with Season two “Idol” winner Ruben Stoddard as The Beets!
And he returned to the “Idol” stage last May to debut his new song “Rewind”.
Armed with a new album “Rewind”, Aiken is ready to make a return to music and has planned a tour to promote the new music…and re-introduce himself.
Before he launches the Rewind Tour early next year, Aiken has some dates lined up to finish out 2026.
