Country superstar Keith Urban visits fan in St. Vincent hospital

Country music superstar Keith Urban made a pit stop at Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center on Thursday before playing at Toledo’s Huntington Center as part of his Graffiti U World Tour. 

The Blade learned earlier in the day that the family and nurses of Marissa English, a 25-year-old fan who was born with a number of health conditions, were attempting to reach Urban in advance of his trip to Toledo. Their efforts paid off when he visited Thursday.

“I made a very special trip today to Mercy Health Children’s Hospital,” he announced onstage with Marissa’s family present. “I think I met my absolute No. 1 fan today — Marissa. I’d like to dedicate this show to her.”

Nurses at the hospital began a social media campaign to engineer a visit from Marissa’s favorite singer when her health began to decline.
