Chris Sligh and Wife Sarah welcomed their first child on Sunday, Oct. 31 at a Nashville hospital. Two weeks past her due date, Keira Lennon Sligh was born at 6:06 a.m., weighing 7 lbs., 12 oz. and is 21.5 inches long.
Sligh says Keira was the only girl’s name he and his wife could agree on, while Lennon was a nod to the Beatles. “I’m a Beatles fan,” he says. “Luckily I managed to negotiate a Beatle into my child’s name.”
Chris’ new CD, “The Anatomy of Broken,” is a Christian based album that delves deep into the human condition and the profound need for a Savior. Says Sligh, “The goal of what I wanted to do with this record is to communicate that it’s okay to admit that we’re fallen and broken, and if we weren’t broken, we wouldn’t need Christ.”
Sligh was eliminated from American Idol on March 28, 2007 and is the tenth-place singer in Season Six. The next day, Sligh said that he had not sought to win the competition and that he had considered quitting the show two weeks before, but stayed on the show in order to make it into the top ten so that he could go on tour with the other finalists.
