LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Country star Jason Aldean is stepping up after 13-year-old DJ Daniel, a young cancer warrior and honorary US Secret Service agent, made an emotional plea to help organize a charity concert for children battling cancer.

DJ, who has been fighting terminal brain and spinal cancer since 2018, posted a video earlier this week asking if anyone could connect him with Aldean, reports Whiskeyriff.

The Georgia-born teen said he wanted to raise funds for fellow pediatric patients by putting on a country music show and had his sights set on one of the genre’s biggest names.

“Hey, does anybody know Jason Aldean? Because we’re trying to do a country show down here to raise money for kids with cancer,” DJ said in a now-viral video shared to social media.



 

Aldean's response was swift and heartwarming.

After being tagged hundreds of times in the comments, Aldean saw DJ’s message and so did fellow country artist Darius Rucker, who sent his own shoutout, “Hey DJ, what’s up? It’s Darius Rucker. Guess what? I heard you. I know Jason Aldean,” he said with a smile.

Shortly after, Aldean himself responded with a personal video message for DJ, “Hey, what’s up DJ? Jason Aldean here. Got your message and want to get you out to a show. Let’s talk more about doing a show or doing something to help the kids like you were talking about. We’ll be in touch, man.”

No specific date has been confirmed for the concert.
