His parents knew their son would need a reason to keep fighting his cancer. After a month of treatment, they took him to see Andy in concert. "I've met Isaac a couple of times now and he always amazes me. He has this quiet strength." I met him at the hospital and then I met him at this meet and greet before I brought him on stage," the singer said.
Andy saw him in the crowd and did something no one expected. He invited this frail little boy to get up on stage and sing with him. He asked Isaac to be the guest of honor!
"Who would be better to come and sing this song with me other than someone that as a kid is doing something that is heroic?" Andy said.
