Granger Smith returned to the stage this weekend at Chicago’s Country LakeShake, only a few weeks after the death of his three-year-old son River, and it was pretty obvious the show was a hard one for him.
Video shows Granger performing the song “Heaven Bound Balloons” in tribute to his son, and it’s easy to see that he was getting emotional during the performance.
When it ended he pulled a reminder of his son out of his pocket, a Lightning McQueen toy car, and he got so choked up he had to walk off stage to compose himself. Check out the performance to the right.
The best & worst moment at @LakeShakeFest @GrangerSmith singing Heaven Bound Balloons. We could see & feel the pain in all their eyes, but when G pulled out McQueen? Gut wrenching! We love you Granger! Thank you for being you. You’re stronger than you know. #LiveLikeRiv pic.twitter.com/UORnaSgEnR
