Summary Friends and classmates used social media to spread Gage's wish to meet Eminem, his musical hero.
ROCHESTER HILLS, Michigan (AP) - Rapper and Detroit native Eminem has fulfilled the wish of a terminally ill fan by visiting him at his Detroit-area home.
Eminem surprised 17-year-old Gage Garmo on Sunday evening. The Detroit Free Press (http://on.freep.com/1xjjmx3 ) says the pair sat in the family s living room talking about hip-hop and football.
Gage was diagnosed with bone cancer three years ago, when he was a freshman at Rochester High School.
Friends and classmates used social media to spread Gage s wish to meet Eminem, his musical hero, after he learned last week that he has just days left to live. Michigan-based charity Rainbow Connection was able to set up the meeting within 48 hours.
Rainbow Connection s wish director says the stars aligned and Gage s wish came true.
