Wyatt Pike quits ‘American Idol’ in shocking exit after making top 12

The final 12 was just announced on “American Idol” — and one contestant didn’t even give viewers the chance to kick him off the show.

Standout singer Wyatt Pike was missing from the venerable reality TV singing competition on Monday night’s first live episode of the season. Host Ryan Seacrest announced without ceremony that Pike had quit the talent show with a brief on-stage statement.
