Clay Aiken has released his first new music in 18 years and announced a 2027 tour, signalling a full-scale return to the spotlight for the former 'American Idol' runner-up who became one of the show's earliest breakout stars.
Aiken, who became a household name after finishing second to Ruben Studdard during the show's second season in 2003, has launched a fresh chapter with his new single 'Rewind'. The track was performed during the 'American Idol' Season 24 finale and is the first release from a new studio album arriving on September 25, 2026.
