Combs appeared on season two of 'The X-Factor.'

Though he did not last on"The X-Factor" for long, Combs was a fan favorite. He auditioned in Greensboro, North Carolina, singing Bette Midler's 1988 song"Wind Beneath My Wings" in front of celebrity judges Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, L.A. Reid and Demi Lovato. In his audition episode, which aired in 2012, he also shared his experiences with weight loss. In 2009, at 920 pounds, he had been hospitalized and near death.

"When I was bedridden and never came out of the house, my music was never heard," he said."My biggest dream would be to give hope to people who are my size so they can achieve their dreams. And I know people might think I would never have a chance, and maybe I don't, but I hope the judges will look past my exterior and give a fat boy a chance."Variety
