Blake Shelton Grants Terminally Ill Girl’s Final Wish with Private Hospital Performance
In March 2025, country star Blake Shelton paused his Friends & Heroes tour for something truly meaningful—granting the final wish of 12-year-old Emily Harper, a leukemia patient at the Jimmy Everest Center at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine.
Emily’s one request was to hear Shelton sing her favorite song, “God Gave Me You,” live. When her family reached out, the hospital staff coordinated with Shelton’s team. Without hesitation, Shelton rearranged his schedule and flew to Oklahoma, continuing his long-standing connection with the center, where he previously donated $600,000 in 2016.
