I saw this a while back and it brought tears to my eyes also. It makes you look at your life with new eyes. He's an excellent singer and an inspiration to us all.

What an amazing voice and what an amazing story!

The 'mother' of the two boys is a very exceptional lady ....... she has given them both a life to be proud of and a future to look forward too.

Does anyone know how far he reached on that X Factor show?

He was eliminated after the boot camp part of the show but Yoko Ono put his video up on her website and told him John Lennon would have been so proud of him. I don't know what happened to him after that.

Thanks for that update, Mazzie Even if nothing else comes from it, it must have been a huge boost to his confidence being invited to take part in the show.

I've seen this video before and I had tears in my eyes.. I'm so glad that Yoko Ono put this on her page.
