Fans have been full of praise for his vocals, with one commenting on one of his covers on YouTube: “It is so unfair that someone can be so talented, can act, can sing, perfect fit, so good looking! I’m so jealous!!!” Another person added: “You’re a great actor and even better singer!

I am proud of your growth, bruh. Keep pushing.” Rome Flynn starred as newcomer Derek Gibson Speaking to Variety about leaving the show, he explained: “Just like all the fans, I was sad to see Gibson leave. He was a character I very much enjoyed playing… I had a wonderful experience during my time on Chicago Fire and have great respect for the cast and crew and hope to team up with Dick Wolf again when the time is right.” Rome Flynn left the show after six episodes Speaking about his love of music back in 2020, Rome revealed that Rihanna reached out to congratulate him on his singing, telling HollywoodLife: “It was random because I had never met her or anything. I was at the point where I was in the middle of trying to figure out what I was doing with music and acting.

And it had become kind of difficult to maintain both at the same time. “And I didn’t know what direction I wanted to go, and then I got a DM from [Rihanna] almost right after I was thinking about that situation. She sent one of the videos I had put on my IG. She said that I had a great voice, and I was like, ‘Wow, I appreciate that, Queen.’” He added: “I started doing music before acting came about, but acting just took off on its own, so I kind of put it aside until I had the time and space to revisit it again. But I’ve always loved music, you know, playing guitar and singing for years and years. I decided to wait until I was able to have the creative space to do it again.”
