The pair also shared their exciting tour announcement during a Monday appearance on \"The View,\" noting, \"We were here five years ago to announce our Broadway Christmas special, which was exciting for us. ... We are about to celebrate our 20th anniversary from the year we were on 'Idol,' and so Ruben and I are are hitting the road together with a 20th anniversary tour all across the country through the year.\"

\"We're starting out this spring and we're going to be celebrating the last 20 years since we did 'Idol' and the music we've gotten to make and the friendships we made along the way,\" he continued.

Aiken and Studdard also revealed they'll be returning to \"American Idol\" in the upcoming season for the finale. The duo faced off against each other in the \"American Idol\" season two finale in 2003, which Studdard ultimately won.
