Paula Abdul & Randy Jackson joined Simon Cowell as judges for American Idol’s debut season and participated in episode 16 of season 20.
The previous judges made an unusual visit to American Idol immediately before Disney Night, which aired on Sunday, May 1, 2022. They wore matching leopard-print attire.
However, some fans were alarmed by Randy Jackson because he looked weak.
In 2003, Randy Jackson received two types of a diabetes diagnoses.
When Randy was an American Idol judge, he discovered he had 2 types of diabetes.
The following year, he had gastric bypass surgery.
Randy Provided Fresh Information
Randy provided fresh information regarding coping with his medical issues in an interview.
“While appearing on American Idol many years ago, I began this wellness program. It might have been Season 2,” he said. “After losing a lot of weight and then starting to gain it again, I set out on my own quest to learn “How can I keep it off?” What should I do?”
Randy frequently discusses his eating habits and his experiences managing type 2 diabetes. He hasn’t provided any more information regarding potential additional health issues.
Fans Worried
Fans conjectured that the celebrity might be unwell. But most rumors were probably started by his improbable weight loss journey.
As Randy said, keeping the weight off over the long run was challenging.
Randy wrote “Body With Soul” in 2008, which described his patient care achievements.
He once said, “It’s a curse to have an illness that’s life-threatening and you can’t entirely get away with it while you can surely manage it.” But receiving that massive wake-up call was a blessing.
Randy hasn’t made any public remarks about additional health issues.
His health regimen most likely contributed to his rapid weight reduction.
