This is the story of a lovely, simple story by Postmedia’s Misty Harris about a 71-year-old grandfather suffering from advanced prostate cancer.
Peter Johngren, found a YouTube video of Justin Bieber performing for U.S. President Barack Obama during his chemotherapy treatments.
In her piece Bieber beats the blues: Grandfather finds hope in cancer fight as a Belieber, Misty writes:
In the years since, Bieber’s music has become a soundtrack of hope for the retired medical doctor and grandfather, whose collection of fan paraphernalia is as impressive as his spirit.
This is also a story about how this lovely, simple story exploded today – a day after it was originally posted – when the Biebs himself thrust it into the spotlight.
