Ex-American Idol cast member dies aged 31

Former American Idol contestant CJ Harris has died aged just 31.

The singer made it into the top six contestants of American Idol in the 2014 edition.

According to family members consulted by TMZ, he died of a heart attack on Sunday evening in Jasper, Alabama.

He was rushed to a local hospital, but could not be revived.

Fans of the show particularly remember his memorable audition in Salt Lake City, where he wowed the judges with his version of the Allman Brothers play “Soulshine.”

Keith Urbain who was on the panel of judges told him: “You sing because you have to sing, not because you want to. And in a very deep way. That is why it is so felt and true”.

CJ Harris was only 31 years old.
