A retired Navy veteran with terminal cancer was granted his wish to see The Eagles perform in Las Vegas after his son’s outreach prompted support from the band and the Bellagio.

Gerardo Soriano, a retired U.S. Navy Storekeeper First Class (SK1) diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma and given approximately 30 days to live, was able to fulfill his wish of seeing his favorite band perform after his son reached out for help.

Soriano, who served 20 years honorably in the U.S. Navy, expressed a final wish to attend a performance by The Eagles. His son, identified as @chrissoriano, shared a message in an effort to make the request possible.

The outreach drew a significant response. The Eagles provided tickets for Soriano to attend their show at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The Bellagio also assisted with accommodations, ensuring he was able to experience the concert fully.

The gesture recognized Soriano’s two decades of service as he attended the performance surrounded by support.
