The Dropkick Murphys have proven their worth as one of the nicest bands out there, performing a private show for a three-year-old cancer patient recently.
If you’ve found yourself paying attention to thew news out of Boston recently, then you might have heard of three-year-old Quinn Waters, who has been making headlines all throughout the state of Massachusetts.
Having recently had surgery to remove a brain tumour, chemotherapy, and even a stem cell transplant, Quinn has been confined to his home while his immune system recovers.
To help make his days a little brighter though, he’s been receiving quite a few visits from supporters who stop by his window.
“Stuff like that gets him through the day because he’s literally stuck in the house, for a three old it’s tough,” father Jarlath Waters told CBS Boston, with mother Tara noted, “We’ve gotten offers people coming by dressed as superheroes, a drama club wants to come by and do a performance on the lawn.”
Now, the latest visitors to “The Mighty Quinn” have been none other than Boston icons the Dropkick Murphys.
Visiting the youngster late last week, Tim Brennan and Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys appeared in Quinn’s front yard to perform a brief set, including performances of ‘The Wild Rover’ and ‘I’m Shipping Up To Boston’, complete with the help of a shark puppet.
“A few of the guys were able to sneak over and play some songs for an awesome little fella named Quinn yesterday,” the band later shared on Instagram.
“Quinn has a wonderful family and they are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
“We cannot be more thankful to everyone, but especially today, to Ken Casey and Tim Brennan for taking the time to come see Quinn,” the Waters family later wrote on The Mighty Quinn Facebook page. “Quinn will most certainly be rocking his DKM gear at his next clinic visit!”
