Legally blind “American Idol” finalist Scott MacIntyre is in the fight of his life – literally!
Scott, 29, is in desperate need of a second kidney transplant to survive and he’s reaching out to friends and The National ENQUIRER to help.
Scott was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2005. The wife of Scott’s Arizona State University music teacher donated a kidney to him in 2007.While Scott was competing on “Idol” during the show’s eighth season, his younger sister Katelyn underwent a kidney transplant as well. Now, in an emotional email to pals, Scott wrote, “Seven years ago my life was saved by a kidney transplant. It’s because of that transplant, I was able to compete on American Idol, marry my wife Christina, and share my music and story around the world.
