Russell Brand surprises a female cancer patient in Adelaide
Russell Brand is true gentleman who loves his fans. The British comedian and actor recently paid a visit to an Adelaide fan Miranda Taylor, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy to combat ovarian cancer.
Brand was at the hospital to support Taylor, who was about to finish her first chemotherapy session. The funnyman was in Adelaide for a concert at the Entertainment Centre. On learning about the cancer-stricken mother, Brand decided to give a surprise visit to her at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Brand was there by Taylor’s side for nearly 20 minutes and tried to comfort and motivate her for her battle against cancer. Taylor was recently diagnosed with stage four metastasis ovarian cancer.
“I’ve never had any good luck so for him to come at that moment was an absolute miracle ... just to know there are people out there who are selfless and will take the time out to make you feel special on the hardest day that you can imagine. It was amazing and very uplifting,” Taylor told Adelaide Confidential.
Taylor was being unhooked from the machines after her first chemotherapy session when she saw the funnyman stepping in. “It was a really magical moment,” Taylor exclaimed.
However, Brand was at the hospital for some other reason too. He went there to visit another fan who had frontrow tickets of his Sunday night show. The fan was not able to make it to his show owing to poor health. However, when Brand came to know about Taylor, he just could not stop himself from visiting the lady.
Taylor, 32, found Brand to be a spiritual guy as he motivated her to stay strong for her family. Taylor has an 11-month-old son Ethan and is being supported by her husband Adam. Her friend Michelle Vassilieff has started a GoFundMe campaign for Taylor to raise $50,000 for her treatment.
On the work front, Brand released episode 366 of “The Trews” titled "Final Episode Of The Trews - Goodbye, Good Luck," on Aug. 20. “The Trews” is a YouTube web series created by Brand. This series was released on Feb. 27, 2014 and features Brand’s take on media.
