Watch the Dropkick Murphys play a concert for a 3-year-old cancer patient

Quinn Waters is just three years old, but he’s already had a challenging life. Diagnosed with a medullobastoma (a tumor on the brain stem), he’s undergone surgery (it got 95% of the tumor) and many rounds of chemotherapy, the little guy is hanging in there.

As he recovers, Quinn has to stay indoors because of the risk of infection due to his chemo-ravaged immune system. Fortunately he gets a steady stream of visitors to his window. This past week, that including Boston band Dropkick Murphys.
