American singer-songwriter and judge Katy Perry took to Twitter to explain: "How will American Idol continue? I'll be judging from California, Lionel Richie from LA, Luke Bryan & Bobby Bones in Nashville. Ryan Seacrest will host from Cali! Contestants perform at their house! America will VOTE from HOME and choose a WINNER!"

All of the judges and hosts announced the news simultaneously on social media on Tuesday(local time).
