Bette Midler sings WIND BENEATH MY WINGS to dying fan
Anna Greenberg, who was a huge fan of Broadway star Bette Midler, died last month after battling a rare form of cancer — rhabdomyosarcoma — at the age of 28.
Only days before Anna passed away, Bette, whom Greenberg met last December, called Anna in the hospital and sang to her ‘Wind Beneath My Wings.’
Watch the video above. Bette begins singing at the 4:45 mark.
Very touching. And wonderful that Bette Midler would take the time to make Anna’s dream come true. That’s a great star.
Bette is currently starring in the hit play I’ll Eat You Last on Broadway.
