The Nepali-American singer Dibesh Pokhrel, known by his stage name ‘Arthur Gunn’, has clinched the first runner-up title of American Idol 2020.
Pokhrel has made history by becoming the first Nepali-origin artist to achieve this feat.
During the American Idol’s final episode on May 17, 2020, Arthur performed ‘Have You Ever Seen The Rain’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival and ‘I Don’t Want To Be’ by Gavin DeGraw from his home in California.
The contest judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry watched the performances remotely from their respective locations.
