Danny Gokey Spent the Weekend at His Grandfather’s Funeral

Poor Danny Gokey!

He has been going through a lot of awful shit in his personal life lately!

Less than a year after the death of his wife, Danny returned home to Wisconsin this weekend to attend his grandfather’s funeral. Idol producers had no comment on it, but they said that Danny would be back in LA to perform on the show today.

I have to hand it to Danny, as much shit as he’s been through, he really doesn’t play the “sob story” card on the show. He only talks about his wife and her passing when reporters grill him about it for a story. He’s not sitting there gabbing Ryan’s ear off about his dead wife on live television in hopes of grabbing sympathy votes, and I give him a lot of credit for that. He seems like a really great dude. (My heart still belongs to the gay, gay sex machine of Adam Lambert, though! Sorry Danny!)

    • I don’t watch it either, but my boyfriend force-fed me the auditions when they aired… I believe his wife had breast cancer, but I could be wrong.

  • Danny has been my pick to win from Day 1!

    Aside from the fact that he has an incredible, unique, and soulful sound, he is a CLASS ACT. Such a gentleman. Such a genuine guy. And, as pointed out, has not played the pity card.

    TEAM DANNY G.

  • I completely agree with you.
    I am SO tired of the sympathy card!

    P.S. My heart belongs to the gay sex machine as well, but Danny is definitely number 2!

  • Omg where can I stand in line for the gay sex machine?

    I’m not an idol fan especially, but something about an adorable man who can sing makes me want *edited for mature content*.

  • I wish you would look farther, Adam goes out with girls as well as boys…He has a lot of great friends and is a wonderful person and talented singer…When Adam was in highschool they said he was the nicest guy anyone could meet..
    As for Danny I really feel for him but he knew she had a heartt condition when he married her and I have lost my grandson, dad and mom, and a neice close together…We survive. This has nothing to do with a singing compition….Forgive me Adam it happens to all of us sooner or later..
