Hannah Glass, a 19-year-old college freshman from Wisconsin, tragically lost her life due to a severe allergic reaction after unknowingly eating a brownie containing roasted peanut flour. Known for her bright spirit, Hannah had celebrated her birthday just two days earlier.
On November 5, after taking a second bite of the brownie, she experienced violent symptoms, including vomiting and hives.
Despite taking Benadryl, her condition worsened, leading to an anaphylactic reaction. Her parents, living 45 minutes away, rushed to her dorm but arrived too late.
Hannah collapsed before her EpiPen could be administered, suffering critical brain damage after her heart stopped for four minutes. Her death highlights the grave dangers of severe food allergies.
John Foster walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, and looked up to the sky. Then, in a voice barely louder than a whisper, he said one name: Elvis Presley. The crowd leaned in. And then—with tears slipping down his face—he grabbed the mic and sang “Jailhouse Rock” like it was the last thing he’d ever do. His voice cracked, not from weakness, but from pure emotion. You could hear the ache, the love, the weight of memory in every note. For a few minutes, the world stood still. 50,000 people held their breath. Then—boom. The silence shattered into thunderous applause. This wasn’t just a song. It was a goodbye, a thank you, and a piece of John’s soul laid bare on stage.
