The Brueland family with Tuomas from "Nightwish".

Tarja Turunen, former lead singer of Nightwish
backstage with Marc at the band's rehearsal in 2003.

The day of the Progpower concert in Atlanta Marc was very sick and having a bad
reaction to his medication. He was going to stay in the hotel but at the last minute
decided on going to the concert. To everyone's surprise he not only arrived,
but got up out of his wheel chair and walked up onto the stage.

Marc and his family got to watch the band perform from the side of the stage.
The man in the white t-shirt is the manager, he was wiping tears from his eyes.

The band dedicated the song "Walking in the Air" to Marc.
He came on stage, gave Tuomas a hug and called him his "brother".
There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
