Mom of Former "Idol" Finalist Sings "My Way"
Posted Apr 1st 2008 3:22PM by TMZ Staff
The mother of "American Idol" contestant Elliott Yamin died last night in Richmond, Va. She was 65.
Claudette Yamin had been hospitalized over the weekend -- so far, no cause of death revealed. She recently returned to her in home in Richmond from L.A., the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.
Yamin finished in 3rd place in 2006 on "Idol," behind Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks -- who, like Mrs. Yamin, will never be heard from again.
This is so sad - I feel terrible for Elliott. Losing a parent cannot be easy at all :(
