'Idol' dad banned from backstage

04:14 PM MST on Monday, May 12, 2008

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The latest person to be kicked out of "American Idol": David Archuleta's dad.

A person who works for "Idol" and spoke on condition of anonymity tells The Associated Press Jeff Archuleta's backstage pass has been revoked.

That means he cannot be with David during rehearsals.

The source says Jeff Archuleta has caused concern for some time because of backstage involvement, but the thing that pushed producers over the edge was a lyric change.

Despite a warning, Jeff Archuleta had insisted on altering the lyrics to "Stand By Me," which David sang last week, by adding a verse from the Sean Kingston song "Beautiful Girls."

That meant "Idol" had to pay additional fees for the extra song.

Fox declined comment, and Jeff Archuleta could not be reached.
