Jess and Avalon met as contestants on Season 15 of American Idol. After making the Top 8, Avalon's life took a few crazy turns. On this week's episode of The Mess, the two sit down for an in-depth conversation about Avalon's journey. Tune in to hear her share her story about coming to LA to pursue music, coming out as queer (on her own terms) and being diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of just 26. From questioning the reason for her diagnosis to choosing to embrace life to the fullest, Avalon shares her very personal and very special experience. Enjoy!
