On the premiere of “America’s Got Talent” last night, a contestant named Archie Williams sailed through with four yesses after singing “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”. Even more amazing, Archie was just released from prison last year, after doing 37 years for a crime he didn’t commit.
Even Elton John was impressed writing, “I was moved to tears when I heard Archie’s story and saw him perform “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me,” Elton shared on Twitter. “The courage and forgiveness shown by him is truly inspiring. The same spirit that the world found so inspiring with Nelson Mandela. Love, E xx.” Check out the performance below.
