The Associated Press reports funeral services were held Monday for Vernon Grissom, the biological father of ‘American Idol’ runner-up Clay Aiken. The 68-year-old died Friday in Louisburg, North Carolina. Aiken — who’ll roll into Long Island, New York’s Nassau Coliseum with touring partner Kelly Clarkson this Thursday — had been estranged from his father for many years and did not attend the funeral.
