“My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Michael Johns. Tonight's show is dedicated in your honor .”
The Hollywood Reporter has quoted Season 7 Season 7 David Cook statement about Johns’ death:
"Mike was one of the first people I bonded with when I got to Hollywood week, and I can honestly say that the depth and pressure associated with the first few weeks of the Idolexperience would've eaten me alive, had it not been for Mike. He had a way of making this gigantic, life-altering event seem small and manageable. To say I'm shocked and saddened is a gross understatement. I'm completely gutted for his family, including his wife, Stacey. I hope they can find at least some small amount of solace in the fact that he made mine and many others' lives so much better by having known him."
