Seven-year old Tyson Zimmer is dying of brain cancer.

                Country star Jason Aldean, being a father of two girls, knows how much a child means to the world.

                Zimmer, being a huge Aldean fan, told Nebraska news station, KOLN-TV, that he sings Aldean’s song, “Big Green Tractor” because it is his favorite.

                The boy’s family and friends came together joining in a Twitter campaign to get Aldean to send the sick boy a video message.

                Aldean did more than that.

                After sending Zimmer a video message thanking him for being a fan, he told him to get better and invited  him and his family out to meet him at a show, he also sent along autographed posters, albums and four backstage passes for him and his family.

                The family also received a trip to Disney World by the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.

                When they return, the family plans on going out to Illinois to meet and see Aldean in May.

                However, now the family is trying to raise enough money to get there.

                If you would like to help the Zimmer family with their expenses for the trip you can send an email to tysonsfightagainstcancer@gmail.com to purchase a $5 Tyson wristband reading, “Say~Fight~Cure.”

                The idea was produced by the local radio station Froggy 98.

The Dixie Chicks lead singer, Natalie Maines, negatively commented on country star Jason Aldean’s Grammy performance this weekend, upsetting fans.

                This is not the first time Maines stirred up negative responses with her fans.  This is beginning to look like a reoccurring offense with Maines.

                During Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson’s performance of their hit single “Don’t You Wanna Stay?” Aldean’s mic went out. Maines posted her thoughts on her Twitter soon after.

“Well the good thing about his mic going out is suddenly the song got a lot more in tune,” tweeted Maines.

Maines later said on her Twitter that she did not know who the guy singing was but to her, he was not in tune.

“By ‘he’ I mean whoever the guy was singing with Kelly Clarkson,” posted Maines.
