This is beyond excellent! I loved listening to his heart pouring out in this song. I have to look him up.

Wow…he died too young and like my dad, from a cancerous brain tumour. My dad’s cancer started in the kidney.

That happens frequently, where cancer will start in one place and end up in the brain. The husband of Mom’s dearest friend had a brain tumor that started in his lung, and a friend of mine had one that started in her breast.
