Storm Cancels Concert, Tribute Band Saves Dad's Wish
29 Sep
Summary
- Family's AC/DC concert dream was revived by a tribute band.
- The original concert was cancelled due to a powerful storm.
- The family received a VIP experience from the tribute band.

A family from Collingwood, Ontario, experienced an unforgettable weekend thanks to a generous offer from a Canadian AC/DC tribute band. Their initial plan to see AC/DC live on September 16th in Toronto was thwarted by a severe storm that led to the concert's cancellation. This event jeopardized the fulfillment of Mike Crawford's dying wish to witness the iconic band perform.
Mike had been in a coma for six months following a brain aneurysm. During his recovery, his daughter Katelynn played AC/DC music for him daily. Upon his awakening, the family prioritized making his wish a reality, securing tickets and arranging special accommodations, only for the storm to interfere.
When the story of their disappointment gained attention, the tribute band Hell N Back extended an invitation for a VIP experience at their Etobicoke show. This included dinner, front-row seats, and signed memorabilia, allowing Mike to share this meaningful moment with his daughter and three grandchildren.
