The Fray turned an uncomfortable incident into a memorable experience during their major concert in the Philippines for their 20th anniversary.
The three-piece band featuring lead vocals by Joe King, Jeremy McCoy and Dan Lavery treated fans to pure bliss and nostalgia as they serenaded the crowd with their classic hits “How to Save a Life,” “She Is All at Once,” “Look After You,” “My Heart's a Crowded Room” and ended the setlist with “Never Say Never” as a sweet send-off. The band also covered The Cranberries’ song “Dreams.”
As The Fray continued their How to Save a Life: 20th Anniversary Tour, they left everyone in awe, prompting one male fan to pour his heart out as he vibed with the performance.

“And I wanna dedicate this song to you, my friend back there,” King said, referring to the song “Over My Head.” “I’ve been there. I’ve been the only one standing up. I’ve been the only one feeling like I'm left out, I’m on the outside. That’s what this song is all about.”
After this sweet gesture, the audience stood up and raised their phones, capturing the special moment.
