Keith Urban serenades dying fan in hospital

-

Marissa English was on hospice care and couldn’t attend Keith Urban’s sold-out concert despite having tickets to the Toledo, Ohio, show. The 25-year-old is in rapidly declining health after being born with “a myriad of health conditions including water and an inoperable cyst on her brain, severe scoliosis and cerebral palsy,” according to WTOL-11. Her nurses knew this wasn’t just a fan, but an Urban superfan. The nurses lobbied the country music superstar through social media and he made a surprise bedside visit. Urban serenaded English before his Thursday night show. In a video of the visit, Urban kneels and sings, “Blue Ain’t Your Color” to English as he holds her hand. Urban dedicated the Ohio concert to English “who I truly think is my biggest fan,” WTOL-11 reported.
