Here come the waterworks...
Because one of America's most groundbreaking reality shows...
Is saying farewell...
After its 15th season.
That's right, folks. FOX has announced that next season will be American Idol's last.
The show, which began in 2002, has produced a bevy of stars like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Jennifer Hudson. Ryan Seacrest will return with judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick Jr. to bid adieu to the series in 2016.
