Eminem Meets With Terminally Ill Fan
Eminem is one of the most popular artists in the world and it would be impossible for him to respond to, or even see, every fan letter--either physical or digital--he receives. But through the power of social media, a 17-year-old terminally ill kid's wish was granted when he got the chance to meet Eminem. .
Gage Garmo, an Eminem superfan and high school student, was diagnosed with Osteoarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, and given just a week to live. It had always been a dream of Garmo's to meet Eminem and spend some time with the MC. The young man's friends and families turned to social media to make it happen. Using the hashtag #GetGageGarmoToMeetEminem, the request spread and reached Eminem. According to Royce Da 5'9"'s Instagram account, Garmo's wish was granted and he got to spend time with Eminem.
