American Idol winner Phillip Phillips revealed that his girlfriend Hannah might join him on the American Idol tour this summer. According to an interview with People, Phillips declared his love for his girl. "I'm hoping maybe she will be able to come on tour with me. It would be cool to have her there. She supported me throughout all of this, and I love her to death."


21-year-old Phillips told People that his girlfriend is currently studying to become a nurse. "She has helped me out a lot through this," he said.


He also made sure to let everyone know in the interview that he is taken and that he hopes people voted for him for his music. "If a girl [voted] for me because I'm cute, and then gets mad that I have a girlfriend, then she doesn't really like the music. I'm not some cute guy who is trying to be successful off that. I really want the music to come first."


Phillip Phillips managed to endure the pain from his painful kidney stones throughout the whole competition will need surgery very soon.


"Yes, I'll be having it here soon, so I'm getting ready - getting prepared for all that," Phillips said on Live! with Kelly. "So I'm just ready to feel better, feel like myself."


Despite being sick for several months and being advised by doctors to treat his medical problem immediately, Phillips stuck it out in the competition to be crowned the winner of the 11th season of American Idol.


Though he will need surgery, Phillips said his sickness will not prevent him from joining in on the Idol tour this summer.
