Vidgen, who had catapulted to fame as a fourteen-year-old prodigy, hadn’t graced the stage in five long years, a fact that baffled everyone.
This gifted performer had stepped away from the limelight after an arduous journey to the United States from his homeland, Australia, at the tender age of sixteen.
During his year-long stint in the States, he battled numerous obstacles that were impeding his progression in his singing career.
