Second season "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard will perform two free concerts in his native Alabama on behalf of a tax referendum backed by one of his biggest fans, Gov. Bob Riley.
The 8,800 free tickets for the Sept. 2 concert in Mobile were distributed in 30 minutes, and 10,000 were handed out in 17 minutes in Birmingham for a Sept. 5 concert in Studdard's hometown. Studdard's band, Just A Few Cats, and comedian Ced Delaney are also scheduled to perform.
The "Believe in Alabama" concerts were organized to promote the Republican governor's tax increase proposals on the Sept. 9 ballot. However, Studdard has not yet said whether he endorses Riley's proposals.
Studdard received a recording contract for beating out runner-up Clay Aiken on the final segment of Fox's "American Idol" in May. A 39-show tour featuring several of the finalists ends Aug. 31. Studdard's debut album, "Soulful," is due Nov. 11.
