After recently receiving the first ever group golden buzzer in America's Got Talent All Stars history with his stunning performance of 'The Sound of Silence', Tom Ball took the World stage again to appear in the grand final of AGT All Stars. In this 'Best of the Best' episode, Tom sung his show stopping rendition of Creep by Radiohead, a performance which has received overwhelming praise and viral reaction.
Much like the popular studio version of 'The Sound Of Silence' currently available Worldwide on all platforms, Tom and the team have worked incredible hard to record, recreate and publish that sensational AGT live performance with a breathtaking studio version of 'Creep'.
Aged 8 years old, Tom was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a life changing auto immune disease which if left untreated is a life threatening condition. Type 1 Diabetes can't be cured, but treatment aims to keep your blood glucose levels as normal as possible with the use of injecting a hormone called insulin. More recently levels are often monitored via a wide range of 'Continuous Glucose Monitors' which can be seen on the arm of the two children in this video.
Like many after diagnoses Tom felt the challenge of being different, but in that very same year he discovered music, an escapism which later became a talent and passion. Tom actually recalled not only remembering and relating to Radiohead's version of 'Creep', when first released but actually later as a teacher used the song to empower and educated a number of children who expressed to him in feeling that same sense of not fitting in for different reasons.
This video is a story Tom wanted to tell, through this harrowing yet beautiful song, that to lead the inspiration to his powerful and stunning AGT All Stars final performance.
Despite the focus around diabetes, the video as a whole hopes to send the wider message.. For whatever reason, 'If you feel like you don't belong... You Do'.
