American Idol finalist, Phil Phillips was suspiciously absent from last week’s Ford commercial, which led some to speculate he might still be suffering from the health issued that plagued him early in the competition.  Phil’s mom confirms he’s still not feeling well and is asking for your prayers on her Facebook page:

“I have a special prayer request. Please stop and pray a special prayer for Phillip. He is in a lot of pain and I am sad about it. I just wish he felt good. I love him so much and wish I could be with him. He would appreciate the prayers too!”

Albany Uncovered, contacted Phil’s father, Donnie Phillips who said that, due to the hectic schedule, “contestants are getting very little sleep and it’s starting to take a toll on Phillip especially when combined with his ongoing kidney stone issues.”

Phil had a stent put in early in the competition to deal with his painful condition.

Sending some good thoughts out Phil’s way. He has a good shot at being the last person standing. I hope he stays healthy

    Idol needs to run medical testing on contestants before they have them join the top 24. There are too many sick people who can’t handle the stress of the endless demands and I suspect most of them don’t realize what they are getting themselves into before the show.

    God Bless Phillip.. Here is a chance of a life time.. He made it this far and now has Kidney stone problems… My husband had them and when I went to the hospital to see him, I thought he was dieing.. thats how bad and in pain he was…. I feel so bad for Philip.. Just watching him, He is my favorite, He has a quite soul about him.. Easy going.. thanks the band members when he is done singing.. LOVE his style… its different…. I hope he is able to make it though and then as a few weeks to rest….

    This is about the stupidest comment one could make.  Where is your human heart, I guess buried in an Alaskan iceberg.  Don’t make these remarks, remember bad karma could jump up and pay you a visit.

    I just hope PP has whaterver medical procedures he needs and at least a couple weeks to recuperate before the tour, it pains me to think about anyone not feeling well. Jimmy said anyone else would have quit. Yes there were other Idols who were sick, all eventually got better, but that doesn’t mean Phillip isn’t going through hell but doing his best to downplay it.

    Phil-Phil is the real deal. We are praying for him to get better soon. Can’t wait to see him on stage when he is feeling better!

    Phillips should go back to flipping burgers and let the real performers on stage
