Evie Clair’s father passed away last week after a battle with colon cancer and in the days that followed, the America’s Got Talent contestant received tons of support from fans and other singers on Twitter.
Following a message of condolence from the official Twitter page of the NBC singing competition, Christina Perri sent a message to the 14-year-old singer.
“Hi, [Evie Clair] I’m so sorry about the loss of your father. I’m sending you and your family my love and prayers,” Perri wrote, according to a report by Deseret News on September 11.
As fans of Evie Clair will surely recall, the America’s Got Talent contestant sang Perri’s “Arms” during an early episode of the show’s currently airing 12th season and was immediately applauded by all four judges, including Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Howie Mandel.
Evie’s father, Amos Ablanalp, died on Thursday, September 7.
