LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As Will Moseley took the stage to perform Bob Seger’s “Night Moves" on 'American Idol' Season 22, he carried with him more than just his vocal prowess. Gene Simmons, the legendary mentor for the episode, offered him a key piece of advice.

Gene suggested that when Will reached the lyric about summertime, he should dial it back a bit to capture the essence of the moment. Will took this guidance to heart and appreciated the invaluable insight from Gene. Reflecting on their session together, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to receive advice from such an iconic figure in the music industry.

In a standout moment on the stage, she also observed Will Moseley's connection with his sensitive side, marking it as his best performance yet. “Way to go big, Mo. Getting in touch with your sensitive side while maintaining that solid, just cut through-ness. That was the best performance you ever gave me," said Katy Perry.

Luke Bryan praised Will's authenticity in song selection, acknowledging his commitment to staying true to himself. Lionel Richie echoed the sentiment, describing the song choice as perfect for Will and commending his stellar execution of it.

Why did Will Moseley leave football?

After enduring multiple concussions in just two seasons, Will Moseley faced a tough decision: continue playing football and risk his health, or prioritize his well-being and step away from the sport for good. Opting for the latter, Moseley made a brave choice to retire from football and embark on a new journey centered around his true passion: music.

This pivotal moment marked a significant shift in Moseley's life as he embraced a path filled with creativity and personal fulfillment. Reflecting on his decision, Moseley candidly shared the internal struggle he faced, grappling with the potential long-term consequences of his injuries. Despite his love for football, he recognized the importance of safeguarding his future health.

Calling his time on the ABC show one of the huge moments of his life, he said, “It’s the biggest opportunity I’ve had so far and it could very well possibly be the biggest opportunity I ever have.”
