The fan was in a wheelchair and there is no easy way to maneuver a wheelchair through a crowd. So what was the solution? Crowd surfing, of course. Jelly Roll encouraged his fans to help the fan past the guard rails and onto the stage.
āWe need to get him to the stage.Ā Can we get him on the stage? Hold on, we are going to need a lot of help though. We canāt drop the ball on this one . . . this one is big. Ā All hands on deck right here, boys, I appreciate yāall helping us. Ā Letās get him up right here.ā

Jelly Roll started singing his hit song, āSon Of A Sinner,ā letting the young man join in on the tune.
This isnāt the first time Jelly Roll went out of his way for a fan.
The singer recently called out a fan who was wearing a shirt honoring their relative who recently passed away, saying āI want to to say rest in peace to CJ. I love you and Iām glad your familyās here. Iām praying for yāall.ā A few weeks before that,Ā Jelly RollĀ stopped one of his concerts to thank a veteran for his service. He told the gentleman that he would never have to buy a ticket to one of his concerts again.
Jelly Rollās heart of gold is unmatched.
