Yesterday we met the beautiful Annaliese, an Adelaide girl with a terminal illness. She had a spare ticket to Coldplay and wanted to pay it forward to the right person.
We found Suzie, an Adelaide woman who appeared to be the right fit. We are so happy to hear just how well their evening went!

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Mix one of two point three Max and Ali in
the morning. I have been hanging out for twenty four
hours for this. Of course, Cold Plays started this concert
series in Australia last night in Melbourne.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It was huge. There were so many people in Marble Stadium.
You all have that annoying friend just like I had,
who already put it on Instagram because you know you're
always going to get to the first tickets in town,
and we always get there because they're rich.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I can let it go, let it go, and we
hate them all except for our next two guests. We
met Analse this time yesterday and Analyse is unwell. This
will be her last concert and she had a spare ticket.
She's going over with family, but dad all of a
sudden couldn't get there, and so rather than take the
money and sell it and do everything else, she came
(00:44):
to us and said, hey, can you help me find
someone who would just love to have this experience sitting
beside me and my family at one of the biggest
concerts of the year.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Send us an email saying I don't have a voice
big enough. You guys have big voices.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Give me your hands. So we found Susie Issues from Peter.
She rang up and she lost her husband to an
awful disease a few years ago, and she said, I
don't care. I will get myself there. I will find
my own accommodation. I just this, this band was one
of my husband's best bands. Well they are with us now.
Good morning, Anna, Lisa and Susie.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yes we best mates.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
What I know? I was just saying, I only got
to bed at five am.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Wow, course did they playing.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I wasn't having arranged at radio at all anything like that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What were you doing going to bed so late?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
How did oh? Like I think we got home? I
was just saying, like, the most special part was like
Susie and I, like my mom and my sister. We
just went back to our apartment and we just sat
down and had a cup of tea and we just
spoke and spoke and spoke and spoke and spoke and
spoke and spoke and just kept talking. We could have
kept going for hours. But yeah, so that was so lovely.
(01:58):
And then after that it was a procrastination of all
medical stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Of it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And I still complain every time surprise to how.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Much anly this wasn't like we've sent Susie over there.
You guys have enjoyed it. You've had the concert, you've
gone your separate way. Susie, you kicked on afterwards and
hung out with Analyse and her family.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Oh yeah, why not? They're such beautiful people.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I love this so much.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Honestly, our entire station has spent two weeks trying to
get love going up in the with Sundays on a
blind day, and you too have just rung up on
the spur of the moment and found each other as
Kindred Spirits Analse seeing Coldplay. We know how special this
band is for you. We know that one of your
very close friends, well who you found who had the
same disease as you, passed away and this was you know,
(02:45):
your band and her band. What was it like to
actually be there with your family on one side and
this amazing Susie sitting next to you on the other.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, it's crazy. Like what was funny? Is that is
funny how some people that are strangers just feel like family.
And it just felt like that, Like it just I
just felt so comfortable. It was easy and like it
just felt natural and yeah, no, it was just it
was incredible. I think I think we stood for the
whole time, like we had seat tickets, and like normally
I don't understand that long, but it was so good
(03:17):
that like I just generally would forget to sit down,
like it was just so good. And then when the
songs came on like Universe and fix You, I think
it got seasy and I both nursed in my family.
It was just like this really powerful moment of like
I don't know, like just spiritual. Really it just felt
like really was like looking down.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It sounds like there might have been a few of
those pocket Kleenex packets gone through.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
CZ What was your eye?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I didn't want to spoil my maker, but I think
it slid a bit with ever Glow.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, why that song, Susie.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I don't know, they were just I hadn't focused enough
on some of the words. But yeah, there's just something
that resonated with me about Pete in that song, and
the tears.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Just started to flow. So yeah, I think there's lots
of songs that talk about the stars and our eldest
granddaughter to our eldest daughter when Pete died, would say
where's par gone? And Molly would say well, you know,
we go back to stardust when we die, and it's
(04:29):
hard for a child. She was only little, and so
every night they would go out and look at the
stars and she would say good night Pa and then
go inside. And that was just so every time they
sing something with stars, it just it just HiT's me.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, stop tugging.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I am just so happy for you and Alice. What
did you want to say then?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I was just gonna say it was quite funny at
that moment because he was overt and like we're about
to have a big hug, and like it was really
emotional with that song ever ago, and then all the
starting Chris mind just completely est it off the way
you said it, and we went to go at the moment,
it's totally ruined the moment.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
It was a beautiful cry.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Everyone was getting the camera down, threw it up.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, I can tell you now, I've finally seen some
fix and videos that you guys have sent through, so
we will get them up on social so everybody else
can join in this and see you incredible women, for
the wonderful people you are. I'm so happy that both
of you connected. Do you think you'll stay connected now
once you both returned off the cold.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
No, I don't really like it.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Well, bad luck. You called me in your life.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
On a serious night, on a serious night, analyse and
we I think this is when the moment that you
broke through to anybody listening yesterday was when you said
that you had hidden yourself. You would shied away from
being public. You were sitting with your mum and about
to go through a really scary operation and they said
this could be it and you looked at your mum
(06:10):
and you realize because you would shut yourself away from
the world, that maybe no one would come to your funeral.
You now, because you've been so brave, have got this
incredible woman in your life, in your life.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I'm very, very lucky. I think things happened for a reason.
It's definitely the definitely that angeling the time that we
needed y. It's so important. And also everyone's comments on
all the posts. It just immensely means a lot to me,
because you know, I think the brain is so powerful
and if you are ready to give up, your body
(06:42):
kind of GRoWES with it a lot quicker. And just
people knowing people care is just makes that fight a
little bit easier to push on with.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Well analyse. You came on our show and asked for
absolutely nothing, but that's not how we roll. So Susie,
you can go and back to sleep and do whatever
you need to do. But at you stick around because
after the news we've got a couple of surprises for you.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Girl. All right, thank
