Family misses American Idol star Phillip Phillips – He’s living the hectic life of a true celebrity these days and while he sings about Home, he doesn’t get to spend much time here.

Phillip Phillips went from a 21-year-old college student to a major star in a matter of days. “He tried out for American Idol, but boom he was just gone,” said Donnie Phillips, Phillip Phillips Father.
