Xcel Energy Center
St. Paul, MN
June 3, 2017
“Oh my, Ron…you are VERY handsome in person.”
Ron Blair blushed as the entire room backstage at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN exploded in laughter around the smiling Heartbreakers bass player and Laury Myhre, a long-time Heartbreakers fan with terminal cancer who met the band before they went onstage. Laury told the guys how much she loved their music and how much meeting them meant to her. One of her friends handed Benmont an old publicity photo of a band Laury used to play in, and everyone gathered around her to check it out.
Later that night, in between “Free Fallin’” and ‘Walls,” Tom walked to the mic and said, “We met a girl named Laury just before we came onstage, and we’re gonna dedicate this next one to her.”
