(FAITHWIRE) — Willie Spence, runner-up on last year’s season of “American Idol,” died Tuesday in a car accident. Just hours before the fatal crash, the 23-year-old singer posted a video of himself singing a worship song.
“American Idol” alumna Katharine McPhee, who competed on the show in 2006, confirmed Spence’s death in a post to her Instagram account, TV Insider reported.
She wrote, “I received very tragic news tonight. Sweet [Willie Spence] passed away in a car accident. Only 23 years old. Life is so unfair and nothing is ever promised. God rest your soul, Willie. It was a pleasure to sing with you and to know you.”
