Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals Make a Kid’s Wish Come True!

Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals did something very special last night at their Tulsa, Oklahoma performance. They worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and brought up young Peyton Arens who is battling a rare form of  Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer to play with them onstage. They hooked him up with a guitar and they played the infamous PANTERA track, “WALK”.  You can check out the video for it here:

 

Phil posted on his Instagram a couple photos of the band playing with Peyton as well as a quick video. Here is one:

As quoted on the Prey For Peyton page: “On a personal note, we are very proud of Peyton. He has maintained a great attitude since he was diagnosed. He is a fighter and we are so proud of how brave he has been. Not once has Peyton complained nor has he asked “why me”. Keep up the fight Peyton. We love you!”  Peyton definitely is a bad ass and we will all Pray for Peyton to beat CANCER!!

Phil and his band  are touring in support of his solo album, “Walk Through Exits Only” which was recorded over the past couple years. His band consists of  Marzi Montazeri on guitar, and drummer Jose Manuel ‘Blue’ Gonzales.  This album is definitely 100% Anselmo as he tears it up with his aggressive no limits sound that has you begging for more! Check it and make sure to see if you are lucky enough to catch one of their shows!
