Singing middle school janitor Richard Goodall has not only won the hearts of America’s Got Talent viewers this year, but he’s now also married the love of his life.
Goodall and his fiancée Angie Vanoven tied the knot on Wednesday, September 18, just days before the AGT Season 19 grand final next Tuesday, September 24. Goodall announced the happy news on his Facebook page, where he revealed members of the AGT family were in attendance for the special moment.
“As of 3pm pacific time Angie and I are now Richard and Angela VanGoodall!” the fan-favorite singer wrote.
In a follow-up post, he added, “An amazing night day and night last night married to my love with my agt family attending and we got the pleasure of eating in Malibu on the beach at moonshadows! So blessed and eternally grateful.”
The night before his wedding, Goodall had taken to the stage for the first part of the AGT final, where he performed an incredible rendition of Journey’s “Faithfully.” The performance received high praise from the judges, with Howie Mandel going as far as to say, “I will make a prediction right now: I think you just sang yourself $1 million.”
Richard Goodall, the 55-year-old janitor from Terre Haute, Indiana, took over the AGT stage with his electrifying performance of ‘Eye of the Tiger.’
