Nicole’s News- July 25

Luke Combs shared a moment with a fan, onstage, at the Buckeye Country Superfest in Columbus, Ohio over the weekend. Adison Conely is a 17 year old girl fighting cancer. One of the items on her bucket list was meeting Luke and seeing him in concert and he made that happen. Luke flew Addison and her family to Columbus and hung out with them backstage before the show and made sure they had a suite to watch the show from. He later brought Addison onstage so he could serenade her with her favorite song, Better Together.
