Back
in 2004, Jason Aldean lost one of his closest friends to breast cancer
when she was just 29-years-old. “The day she passed away, my family
decided that we would always do something to carry on her memory and to
help in the fight,” the singer says of his late friend, Melissa.
“Everybody I know has been touched by it; they say a woman dies every 69
seconds from [breast cancer].” Jason has committed himself to the
cause, hosting an annual “Concert for the Cure” to raise money for the
Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, with his sixth annual show
coming up Friday in Roanoke, Virginia. A recent eBay auction offered a
flyaway to see the show from the front row, meet Aldean backstage and
come home with a suitcase full of autographed gear. The week-long
auction saw 35 bids and closed at $7,500, with 80% of the money going to
Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
