The famous duet “The Prayer”, performed by Celine Dion and Josh Groban, did not come about through careful planning by their managers or record labels. Instead, it was a serendipitous moment that brought these two remarkable voices together.
Josh Groban’s rise to fame took an unexpected turn in 1998 when he received a surprise phone call from music producer David Foster.

Despite his initial fears and the short notice, Groban recognized the opportunity and took full advantage of it.
In the accompanying video, Celine Dion remembers meeting Josh Groban for the first time during this rehearsal. Their voices came together effortlessly, resulting in a captivating performance that quickly caught on with fans.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene: A 7-year-old boy’s tragic fate and his final words
Hurricane Helene, the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005, has claimed the lives of 200 people as rescuers continue their search for survivors. The deaths have been reported in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.
The number of people missing is counted in hundreds, and the number of homes left without electricity is nearly a million. Unfortunately, rescue teams face challenges as many roads rendered impassable by the storm’s destruction.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper highlighted the severity of the situation, saying that the rugged landscape has made it difficult for many communities to receive any assistance.
Among those who lost their lives is 7-year-old Micah Drye of Asheville, North Carolina. He and his grandparents were swept away by floodwaters after seeking refuge on a rooftop. The boy’s mother, Meghan, survived.
The news of Micah’s death was disclosed by his aunt, Jessica Drye Turner, who also shared the boy’s final words, “Jesus! Please help me!”
The heartbroken aunt expressed her grief and pain over the loss of her sister’s son. “New grief and strong faith. New motto.”
The boy’s lifeless body was located about a quarter mile from where his mother had been rescued.
Meghan’s other sister, Heather Kephart, started a GoFundMe page to help Meghan after the devastating loss of her son, her parents, and all her belongings, including her home.
The fundraising page included a photo of sweet Micah, taken by his grandmother mere days before the tragedy. He could be seen wearing a Jurassic World T-shirt and smiling.
This family’s huge loss is just one of many caused by the devastating storm.
