(TeamRock Radio) Of Mice & Men have surprised a teenage fan with terminal brain cancer by including her on their next album. Cassy, 14, was diagnosed with the fatal condition in 2014 - and was told in January that she possibly had only six months left to live.
But the Orange County outfit have included a recording of her clapping to the beat of one of their new songs on the record - and let her be the first to hear the release in full.
A post on Of Mice & Men's Instagram reads: "Today will forever be engraved as a very special day in our hearts. A precious, strong and defiant young lady named Cassy walked into our lives and forever changed them.
"The relationship and history between Cassy, Austin Carlile and the band has been a rich one over the years. Today was a much needed day for Cassy, her mom, cousin and family, as was it for all involved.
"Today was a day to forget all the stresses and problems of the world and to be surrounded by nothing but pure love, happiness and joy. Today Cassy was disease-free - today Cassy was 'living the dream.'" Read more here.
