"X Factor" Contestant Nathaniel O'Brien Has Been Killed In A Car Crash

Sad news about a young singing talent out of South Australia.

Nathaniel O’Brien, a contestant on last year’s X Factor, was killed in a car crash over the weekend.

The 19-year-old struck a tree on Sunday morning while en route to a gig at the Tea Tree Gully Hotel in SA.

According to ABC News, no-one else was in the vehicle.

O’Brien had made it to the final 24 of X Factor in 2014. His mentor on the show, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, posted her condolences on Twitter.

Our thoughts similarly go out to his family and friends.
