Singer Melissa Etheridge, who was in Harrisburg, Pa., for a concert in Hershey last night, stopped by Midtown Scholar Bookstore on Monday. With her partner, Linda Wallem, she "sipped tea and browsed the book selection," PennLive noted, adding that what happened next "made one lucky fan's night."
"I looked at her, and it looked like her and I was like 'It can't be her.' I was like shocked," said David Kern, the bookstore's events coordinator.
Etheridge asked Kern if he and his husband, Joe Currin, would be attending the show, but Kern said "the couple had got married a month ago in Maryland, and couldn't afford the concert tickets due to wedding expenses," PennLive wrote.
"She gave us tickets as a wedding gift," Kern said. "She was just so amazingly sweet."
