The 29-year-old rocker from US Nick Fradiani has been crowned as the winner of 14th season of the 'American Idol'.
Fradiani asserted that winning the singing reality show was amazing and this was the best day of his life, Huffington Post reported.
Fradiani, from Guilford, Connecticut, defeated soulful 22-year-old vocalist Clark Beckham of White House, Tennessee, to win the 14th edition of 'American Idol'.
Before he was revealed as the winner, Fradiani dueted with singer-songwriter Andy Grammer.
