LAS VEGAS, NV,U.S. — The hometown heroes IMAGINE DRAGONS are back for a concert that they call their “most important of the year.”
The Grammy Award-winning group Imagine Dragons, formed in Las Vegas, hosted their annual Tyler Robinson Foundation (TRF) Gala to raise money for families dealing with pediatric cancer. The band says this friendship started from one Facebook message and led to a difference-making movement for pediatric cancer families.
The 2024 Rise Up Gala, organized by the Tyler Robinson Foundation (TRF), features Imagine Dragons performing live. The event was scheduled for September 20, 2024, at Wynn Las Vegas.
The Tyler Robinson Foundation says its mission is to, “strengthen families financially and emotionally as they cope with the tragedy of a pediatric cancer diagnosis by offsetting out-of-pocket life expenses.”
During the performance, one of the donators in the audience offered $25,000 for donation if they could perform Eminem‘s magnum opus single “Lose Yourself,” from 2002’s “8 Mile” soundtracks album. “Lose Yourself? Oh, you have $25,000? Well, we gotta try! Don’t we?! We’ve never done this but we will try. For $25,000? pediatric cancer? let me untuck my shirt for this.I just want to be clear that we have never done this. But it’s $25,000, I can see now.” said the frontman of the group Dan Reynolds before kicking the epic performance. You can watch it below.
