I'm a child of divorce and that was not easy to go through, and I remember just hiding away in my bedroom some nights just listening to artists like Elton and really carried me through.
Ever wondered what it takes to meet your hero? For Tate Sheridan, it was a heartfelt letter, a demo CD, and a bit of backstage sneaking. In this episode of 'Days Like These', Tate recounts his incredible journey from being an Elton John superfan to performing alongside the legend himself. Growing up with divorced parents, Tate found comfort in Elton's music and dreamt of one day meeting his idol.
With determination and a well-crafted package, he managed to catch Elton's attention. Two years later, Tate found himself on tour with Elton, playing in front of thousands of fans on the very piano his hero used. This episode isn't just about fanfare; it's a testament to the power of perseverance and the meaningful connections music can forge.
Through Elton's mentorship, Tate grew both as a musician and as a person, showing us all that dreams can come true with a bit of courage and creativity. Tune in for an inspiring story that highlights the magic of music and the bonds it can create.
