Due to a recent sighting, fans of the former American Idol judge Randy Jackson are quite alarmed.
Between 2002 and 2014, Randy Jackson starred on several seasons of American Idol, becoming a well-known face on television.
On Monday’s brand-new edition of Reality Club Fox, Randy, 68, made an appearance and it appeared that he has shed a significant amount of weight for his health.
It is reported that viewers found it difficult to focus on anything other than his trimmed body.
The star’s trim figure and sharp jawline were on full display when he took the stage although Jackson has previously disclosed having a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis in 2001 and had discussed the disease in Body With Soul, his book published in 2008.
