Josiah Lemings Mother Succumbs to Cancer - 6/17/09
From MJ's
Quote:Sharon Leming, the mother of Season 7 contestant, Josiah Leming, passed away from cancer Tuesday afternoon.
You might remember Josiah from his Season 7 audition and the Hollywood rounds. He broke down on camera when just missed the cut to Top 24.
His quirky take on Mika’s “Grace Kelly” caught the attention of Idol fans, as did his backstory–he’d been living out of his car prior to his Idol audition.
A detail not included in his Idol backstory–his mother was fighting a nearly decade long struggle with ovarian leiomyosarcoma, a very rare from of the disease. She chronicled her struggle on her blog here.
On Sharon’s blog, a friend of the family posted that she’d been admitted to ICU. Hours later the news of Sharon’s passing was posted in comments, where fans have been posting condolences.
Since his Idol run, Josiah was signed to Warner Brothers and has been shuffling between the US and London, recording his debut album.
Soul to me is a feeling, a lot of depth and being able to bring to the surface that which is happening inside, to make the picture clear. The song doesn't matter. It's just the emotion, the way it affects other people. - Aretha Franklin
