TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Richard Goodall has taken the hearts of fans from all across America with his singing and personality on “America’s Got Talent,” but there’s one heart he’s most excited to have for the rest of his life.
On Wednesday, Richard and his fiancée, Angie Vanoven, got married in California just days before the “AGT” finale.
In his announcement post on Facebook, Goodall wrote, “As of 3 p.m. pacific time Angie and I are now Richard and Angela VanGoodall!”
Just hours before his wedding, he performed in the “AGT” finals, singing “Faithfully” by Journey, which was followed by raucous applause from the judges and the live audience.
“You are such an amazing man. You’re so humble, you’re so kind,” Heidi Klum said during the finals. “I want you to win this so bad, Richard.”
“We all need a hero right now, and you are our hero,” Simon Cowell said.
“I will make a prediction right now: I think you just sang yourself $1 million,” Howie Mandel said.
The winner will be revealed in a star-studded finale on Tuesday, Sept. 24. During that show, the finalists will perform one more time alongside celebrities, including Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles, singer Michael Bublé and comedian Gabriel Iglesias, among others.
