Brad Paisley & Michael J. Fox Raise Awareness For Parkinsonโs
Youโve likely seen Brad Paisley take part in his fair share of guitar jams over the years. But we bet youโve never seen a jam session like the one we have to share with you here.
In November 2017, Paisley was one of the key players at actor Michael J. Foxโs annual A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinsonโs gala. Known for his starring role as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future films, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinsonโs in 1991. He was only 29 years old at the time.
Fox went public with his diagnosis in 1998, and since then has been a strong advocate for others battling the disease. His annual gala helps raise funds for Parkinsonโs research in the hopes that one day a cure can be found.
Brad Paisley Shares How Much Michaelโs Friendship Means To Him
For the 2017 gala, Paisley entertained the guests with a series of some of his signature hits. But he also took some time to honor the host, and welcomed him on the stage to perform.
With his own guitar in hand, Fox was greeted with an enthusiastic wave of applause as he made his way to Paisleyโs side.
Before they started playing, Paisley made sure that Fox knew just how much he meant to him:
โIโve been a fan of yours since I was tiny,โ Paisley said. Fox had the perfect response, saying, โIโm still tiny and Iโm a fan of yours.โ
After that, the two singers engaged in an epic jam session on a rock and roll classicโฆChuck Berryโs โJohnny B. Goode.โ Released in March 1958, โJohnny B. Goodeโ climbed as high as the eighth spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
A short clip from the gala shows a snippet of Paisley and Foxโs guitar jam to the song. They looked like they were having a grand ole time up there, and we canโt blame them! โJohnny B. Goodeโ is such a fun song!
