Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, the 28-year-old said his parents sold their three-bedroom house to send him to music college and university. He has promised that if he wins the show he will pay them back.
Stone, singing 'Maria' from the musical ‘West Side Story’, proved to be a major hit with the audience and judges on Saturday night and is through to the next round of the competition.
He said "My dad sold his house when I was 16 so he could afford to put me into music school and then university. He sold a lovely three-bedroom semi with a big garden and moved into a small, two-bedroom flat above an Indian takeaway so I could follow my dream.
"In total my parents have probably spent about £60,000 on all my various fees and lessons. But when I was 20, I dropped out of music school because I could no longer afford the fees. Now this is my big chance to follow my dream again."
