Singer-Songwriter Edwin McCain was unmasked last night on The Masked Singer, ending his impressive run up to the Final 6 as the costumed character “Nessy.” With judge guesses ranging from Gene Simmons to Sting, McCain kept fans and panelists alike guessing until the big reveal.
The elimination came after what host Nick Cannon called “the closest margin in Masked Singer history, less than 1%. Watch him sing Lady Gaga’s Million Reasons below.
To celebrate the unmasking, McCain will host an Unmasked Friends Party on May 7th at L.A.’s iconic Troubadour. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the LA Fire Charities. The event promises an unforgettable night of music and surprises, with special guests — including fellow Masked Singer alumni and longtime friends of Edwin—expected to join him on stage for live performances. It’s set to be a joyful evening of reunion, reflection, and celebration of McCain’s journey both on the show and in music.
The reveal also coincides with the release of Lucky, McCain’s 11th studio album and his first collection of new material since 2011’s Mercy Bound. A heartfelt reflection on career longevity, gratitude, and creative passion, Lucky marks a bold and meaningful new chapter for the beloved singer-songwriter.
