Billy Bell Leaves 'So You Think You Can Dance' Due to Illness


Nineteen-year-old dancer Billy Bell has stopped competing in So You Think You Can Dance because of an unspecified illness. Fox gave no further comment on the matter, but according to MSNBC, 21-year-old Brandon Dumlao of California will be taking his spot on the show. 
Billy Bell was forced to leave SYTYCD because of an illness.


The show's executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe said in a statement, "We are disappointed that Billy cannot continue dancing in the competition on the advice of his doctor and wish him a speedy recovery. However, we are fortunate that Brandon Dumlao has agreed to return."

Bell's family posted a message on his Facebook page earlier this week, saying: "Billy’s family would like to thank all of his fans for the support they have shown him this season. Billy was released from the hospital today and is feeling better. Please respect the family’s privacy. As of right now, Billy hopes to try out again for season 7… Thank you so much for sharing your love and support with our family! The Bell Family."
