Luke Combs may have brought out a whopping 63,000 fans to Ohio Stadium for Buckeye Country Superfest, but the more importantly, he made the dreams come true for 17 year old Addi.
Addison Conely (Addi), was diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive form of leukemia that, unfortunately in her case, is terminal.
Luke brought her entire family to his show in Columbus, Ohio over the weekend because it was on Addi’s bucket list to see him perform in person. Once her wish reached Luke, he knew he had to fly and her family out to make her dreams come to life, but he didn’t stop at tickets to the show…he also brought Addi onstage to serenade her in front of over 60,000 people!
“This is my friend Addi that I met today, and Addi’s going through some health things at the moment, and I came across her on social media,” Combs told the rowdy audience. “I had been tagged in a few things, and her biggest wish was to come out and see a show. So, we flew Addi and her family out from California to be with us in Columbus tonight, and I want to give her the experience of what it really feels like to be up here in front of 60,000 people tonight.”
Before breaking into a powerful rendition of the chart-topping track, Combs asked his devoted fan base for one request.
“Addi’s favorite song is ’Better Together.’ So, I can only ask you one favor. One, that you sing along so we can hear you, and two I want every single person in here to get their phone light out so we can see. I want her to see that tonight. So, Addi, this one goes out to you, your favorite song, one of my favorite songs,” he concluded.
What an incredible moment for Addi!
