Words cannot really express how this announcement rocked the Archuworld.

A new journey. A true inspiration.

He was in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hometown crowd–it is indeed special. It was certainly the perfect place to make this announcement. It may be difficult to accept but it’s a new journey–a new chapter of his life he looks forward to and we, too, as his fans would support him all the way.

David just announced that he will be serving on a full-time LDS mission for 2 years. He’s not leaving music, he will be taking a break and embark in a new mission. We will surely miss him in the music industry but hey, David will be around and continue inspiring people.

Still, we can’t help but bawl.(T__T)

This video. He cries. His tears. The cheers. Heartbreaking. Inspiring.

Hey David, WE ARE HERE TO STAY. ALWAYS.

A few more shows to go–cherish it!

Here’s to your new mission! *cheers* There is a great journey ahead of you!

What a day for David!

On Good Day Utah:

David Archuleta talks Christmas album, upcoming performances

On ABC4 Good Things Utah:

Utah’s own David Archuleta has a big December ahead. He’s going on his “My Kind of Christmas” tour. It begins in Westbury, New York on December 1, 2011. Archuleta will perform at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City on December 19th. For more information about the tour, go to :http://davidarchuleta.com/home/?page_id=1235.

Archuleta is also excited about the release of his collaborative album with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It is called “Glad Christmas Tidings”.

While Archuleta was in the Good Things studio, a special friend of his was in the audience. In 2010 he made a wish come true for Jonah Gomez. The little boy with two blood diseases sang with Arculeta at a half-time show at a Real Salt Lake soccer game. The wish came true thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah. The Gomez family also received a new home from ABC’s hit reality tv show “Extreme Makeover Home Edition.”

On Studio 5:

I love this interview so much. David is indeed a sweetheart. He surprised his #1 fan ( hehe), Edith who is celebrating her 97th birthday. So sweet <3

This is a MUST WATCH!

David Archuleta’s Super Fan Surprise

You could say he’s Utah’s sweetheart. Every since his run on American Idol, all the teenage girls have been taken with singer David Archuleta. But we’ve found the ultimate Archie fan who doesn’t necessarily fit the stereotype.

Thanks to JRforDA2011 for the vids!

The Dish!

This is a good one and David gets to talk more about the writing experience, the pressure-less life outside of Jive, and his search (or non-search) for the perfect girl.

Thank you @pattycake!

David was at the Utah’s Best of State Awards and presented the award for Community Development

Brad Paisley and David Archuleta!

America’s Freedom Festival is excited to announce CMA Entertainer of the Year Brad Paisley will officially headline 2011’s Stadium of Fire on Saturday, July 2nd at Brigham Young University’s LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah. American Idol alumnus and Utah native David Archuleta will also perform at the event.

Paisley is a consummate singer, songwriter, guitarist and entertainer, which has earned him three Grammy Awards, 14 Country Music Association Awards and 13 Academy of Country Music Awards. He has released 18 #1 singles, with the last 14 consecutive. Paisley has also released nine critically acclaimed studio albums. His most recent album, Hits Alive, is a two-disc set of original studio hits as well as live performances from some of Paisley’s most popular concerts. Paisley’s innovative H20 World Tour played to over 879,000 fans in 2010 and placed as the #1 country tour for attendance by Pollstar, the concert trade publication. Paisley’s current single “This Is Country Music” is the title track from his next album, which will be in stores May 24.

David Archuleta was runner-up during season seven of the phenomenally successful American Idol television series on the FOX network. The Murray, Utah native is now a household name, seeing enormous success with the song “Crush,” which charted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of its 2008 release and has since sold two million downloads.

This year’s show will also feature performances from the three winning finalists of the first Stadium of Fire Talent Search, a unique talent competition that will spotlight up to 40 aspiring contestants from around the country in both online and live auditions between February and July. The three top contestants will perform live at Stadium of Fire to compete for cash prizes of up to $10,000. In an exciting conclusion to the months-long event, Stadium of Fire’s audience will vote for the winner via text.

The night will also include the Stadium of Fire Dancers, the biggest stadium fireworks show in America and other surprises.

Tickets to Stadium of Fire will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 4th at 9 a.m. and will be sold simultaneously online at www.stadiumoffire.com, www.byutickets.com and at the BYU Marriott Center ticket office in Provo. Members of the Freedom Festival’s email list will have the option to purchase tickets before the general public, on March 2!
