Nick Jonas "Black Keys" "Little Bit Longer" & speech (with written speech) 8/14/09

I know its hard to hear so heres what he said:

"You know sometimes in life sometimes you get thrown an unexpected curveball. Thats what happened to me about 4 years ago when I got diagnoised with type 1 diabetes. It flipped my whole world upside down. Especially, until this time I had a perfect medical history but on that night on November 16, 2005 I walked into my doctor's office and took some tests, she came back about an hour later. She told me I was in fact type 1 diabetic, I didn't know what that meant so I asked her a question that came to my mind, a question I hope none of you here tonight have to ask, I looked back at her and said am I gonna die? She looked back at me with tears in her own eyes and said No your not, she went on to say that this would be something that I would have to live with for the rest of my life. I was overwhelmed for a moment but then I thought back to the very day when I had the dream of playing on a stage like this. So before I said a word more I made a commitment to myself that I would not let this slow me down. In this past month alone, I met the President of the United States, we've had our second Rolling Stone cover in less than a year, we've had our second #1 album, #1 on my list I found out 2 days ago my health is at the best its been. I have to say its because of you. Being here tonight, playing for the people I know have been supporters of our dream for a long time. No medicine, No cure for that matter could bring the joy that you do. I wanna say thank you. There has been a lot of people that come up to me that say that me telling my story has inspired them. To those of who say that I wanna say thank you. Cuz what you may not know is that you are my inspiration. From the bottom of my heart, I love you."

Nick Jonas singing Little Bit Longer and then talking about diabetes. very touching. I cried so hard. Sorry about the shakeyness - as you can see I was holding the camera in the air for 7 minutes :/ Anyway.... this was in Houston, Texas 8/14/09
