“More than 2,000 years ago, God sent Jesus Christ, our Savior. In celebration of the Christmas season, Nathan and I recorded ‘The Prayer’,” David wrote in the notes section. “We wanted to share it with all of you as well.”
The Prayer – David Archuleta & Nathan Pacheco #ASaviorIsBorn
David Archuleta has sent an apology to his fans after he echoed some anti-gay beliefs, which some believe were to support the new Indiana law that could have harmful effects to the LGBT community.
The new Indiana law has received widespread backlash as it is seen as a way for people and businesses to discriminate against those they disagree with, especially members of the LGBT community.
David, who came in second on season seven of American Idol, tweeted a quote said by Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quarum of the Twelve Apostles: “Romantic love is incomplete. It is a prelude. Love is nourished by the coming of children, who spring from the fountain of love�expressed between a man and a woman in marriage. #PresPacker.”
Two days later David released an apology on his website. Read it now on
The 24-year-old musician has been taking a social media break and explains it in his latest blog on his website.
“I put another blog up just now of why I haven’t been using much social media lately. Link is on my Instagram profile page. Meanwhile, As my hands feel like icicles on a chilly day in Nashville, here is a throwback photo from back in Hawaii. Can’t remember what we were laughing at, but apparently our guide said something funny. #throwbackthursday #imissyouHawaii #blog #socialmediabreak #Hawaii,” he wrote.
But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing new coming from David – he’s dropping a new video next week!
David added in his blog, “Next week I will be back in Utah for the RootsTech 2015 convention. I will be singing a few songs and also premiering the music video I shot in Costa Rica last Summer. It’s a song I wrote that’s actually in Spanish, and is about finding yourself by looking in the past.”
David Archuleta just released a brand-new video after returning home from his two-year mission.
“I’m re-adjusting now. I’m catching up on everything that’s happened in the last two years,” the 23-year-old singer shared in the video after a couple of takes.
David continued, “I’m spending time with my family and catching up with them. I just wanted to thank you for all of your messages, for all of your letters, for all of your warm greetings. I’m coming back…I thank you for your patience as well [while] I adjust. I’m still in that process.”
Look who’s back from his two year mission — it’s David Archuleta!
The 23-year-old singer arrived back in Utah earlier this week and had only a few words for the cute video and his fans: “Hola, everyone! It’s Elder Archuleta here. And I’m home. I’m home.”
While on his Mormon mission, David performed in a Mormon choir for its general conference and also gave two special Christmas performances that were held on the Santiago Chile Temple grounds.
During that time, he had little contact with his family or the outside world.

The 20-year-old musician is wrapping up his My Kind of Christmas tour and recently stopped by the Forbes offices in New York City for a surprise visit.
“I feel like there’s something special about Christmas music,” David shared. “You’re able to put your heart into it a different way than with other, just pop, stuff.”

David Archuleta takes the stage to perform a song or two during the 2011 “Make A Difference” benefit concert held at the Ronald McDonald House on Tuesday night (November 8) in New York City.
The 20-year-old musician joined former American Idol alums Constantine Maroulis and David Cook for the event, which honored Calvin Klein, Inc. President & CEO Tom Murry.
The event raised over $325,000. The funds raised support for the organization’s mission of providing temporary housing for pediatric cancer patients and their families while the child is undergoing active treatment at one or more of 13 partnering hospitals throughout New York City.
David tweeted, “Had a really great night tonight at Ronald McDonald House! Good hearing Cook again as well as Constantine Maroulis. Awesome performers.”
