‘American Idol’ Singer John Foster Pays Loving Tribute to Late Friend With ‘Tell That Angel I Love Her’

'American Idol' singer John Foster paid tribute to his late friend during the Easter episode on Sunday (April 20) with 'Tell That Angel I Love Her.'

American Idol leaned into the Easter Sunday (April 20) holiday with a three-hour episode in which this season’s top 20 sang anthems of faith and devotion, with one contestant turning heads thanks to his original song dedicated to a lost friend. The episode opened judge Lionel Richie performing his song “Eternity” accompanied by a full gospel choir and the top 24, just before four of those singers — Grayson Torrence, Kyana Fanene, Penny Samar and MKY — were sent packing. In addition, fellow judge Luke Bryan sang “Jesus ‘Bout My Kids” and Carrie Underwood brought down the house with a moving “How Great Thou Art.”
