"Third American Idol Contestant Resigns, Malcolm McDowell's Son Among Them"
Beckett Rex, the 19-year-old son of actor Malcolm McDowell, has left American Idol despite making it to the top 26. He did not give a reason for his departure but expressed gratitude for the experience. Rex had written a song about his father, but the show did not make a big deal about his famous connection. This is the third contestant to leave the show this season, and one previously eliminated singer will be brought back to replace Rex.
