You are quite mistaken. Clay asked that his latest blog be made public on all boards, etc. - and it has.

Thanks, Jill. I don’t think fan sites that charge are bad as they keep the trouble-makers out, and you’re right that Clay Aiken has been quite open about talking about his announcement. I just thought there was even more information and detail listed on the offical blog. Thanks for the correction and the update. We are glad he’s back in Spamalot, and look forward to seeing him in other Broadway productions as well. He has a sense of fun, but he also truly can sing. Thanks again.
