Randy Jackson will return to American Idol as a judge after online speculation indicated that Jackson would leave the show before the upcoming season.

It appears that American Idol judge Randy Jackson will return to the popular Fox singing competition despite the many rumors that had Jackson pegged to leave following the departures of Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.

Although Fox hasn’t confirmed the news, former American Idol judge Simon Cowell hit Twitter with some insider news about Jackson’s status with Idol. “Just heard Randy is back on Idol,” Cowell tweeted. “Right decision.”

Bolstering the claims, TV Line reports that a close source revealed that “the rumors are true” about Randy Jackson on American Idol for the upcoming season.
