Phillip Phillips has been busy playing six shows a week, but after being on the road for a while, his health got the best of him, and now, his doctor told him that he needed to chill the heck out!

The American Idol season-11 winner underwent surgery last year for kidney stones, and while he unfortunately has ongoing kidney issues on top of exhaustion and dehydration, he's not at 100% right now.

As we previously mentioned, Phillip Phillips had some pretty serious kidney issues and almost had to drop out of American Idol!

His doctors told him

Phillip Phillips has not only been pushing through round after round of American Idol, but he's also been battling constant pain.

He has kidney stones that should've been operated on weeks ago but he didn't want to drop out of American Idol.

His father said:

"He’s doing good right now, but it’s been a long hard struggle for him. I’m so proud of him. He just sucked it up and endured and he overcomes."

It's so amazing he won it while in serious pain; imagine how he would have destroyed it if he was totally healthy!

His mother chimed in:

"That’s our baby and we’re just so happy that he made it through!"

So now that he's made it through… what's next? His dad continued:

"He’s got to have reconstructive surgery on his kidney. That’s why he has a stint in him. He’s had a surgery since he started American Idol already to get through. That’s why they put the stint in him [so they] could keep his kidney functioning good. Physically he’s in good shape. He said it’s painful wearing the stint. That’s why you see him moving like an old man. He can’t move. I can’t wait until he has his surgery and he recovered and ya’ll see him 100%."

What's crazy is his kidney stones don't come as a surprise to the rest of his family.

His dad said:

"I've had them. Where we live at is like the kidney stone capital of the world. It’s in the water."

That's terrible! Well now that Phillip is the true American Idol champion, he can move away to somewhere where the water isn't full of kidney stones!

We know that's not how kidney stones work. LOLz!

Congrats, Phillip and feel better!!

Phillip Phillips not only has a strong voice, he has a strong tolerance for pain!

The American Idol stand out was rushed to the hospital last week because of intense abdominal pain, which was caused by a blockage from kidney stones. The singer underwent surgery to have a "stent" installed in his body to alleviate the issue, but sources say it's still incredibly painful.

Phillip isn't letting that ruin his chances of becoming a music superstar and will continue to compete in the reality competition until he gets the boot OR, better yet, is crowned this year's American Idol!

This issue definitely could not have come at a worse time for the guy, but we admire his determination and wish him the best of luck in future weeks!
