American Idol finalist Phillip Phillips‘ doctors say it’s imperative he seek medical treatment as soon as his run on the show is over. He needs surgery!

According to TMZ, the Georgia native’s kidney problems have gotten worse.

Though experts have advised him to seek help immediately, Phillips has chosen to hold off until the Season 11 winner is chosen on Wednesday.

Phillips’ kidney issues have reportedly affected his ability to sing, and according to the report, are also why he was often absent from pre-recorded segments filmed with the rest of the cast.

Do you think Phillip will sing well enough to win?
