Former Paralyzed Singer Brings Judge To Tears

In 2016, a driver ran a red light and struck David Francisco while he was riding his bike. The accident left him paralyzed from the waist down and completely changed his life. But David didn't let his struggles get to him. In fact, he forgave the driver that hit him and they're even friends now. The accident also allowed him to reconnect with an old friend which led to a beautiful romance.


Today, David is following his dream by auditioning for American Idol and sharing his story with the world. The judges are immediately touched by this man's optimism and charisma. But when he starts to perform the Stevie Wonder classic "Isn't She Lovely" all of the judges are in awe.

David is the total package of talent, charm and an all-around great guy. And his touching story and audition even brought judge Katy to tears. It's obvious he left on a mark on the judges and I can't wait to see what this man does next. We'll see you in Hollywood, David!
