Ethan Payne was a contestant on American Idol last night and he revealed that this wasn’t the first time he met Luke.
He was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis — a genetic disease that affects the lungs and other organs — as a baby, and met Luke two years ago through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
At that time, Luke gave him his own personal guitar and invited him to sing with him in front of a crowd of 50,000.
