Luke Evans shares emotional moment he sang to his nan for the last time on Facetime during pandemic

Singer and Hollywood star Luke Evans has opened up about the heartbreakingly emotional time he sang to his beloved nan just before she passed away when he couldn't make it home due to the Covid pandemic.

Talking about his love of music and how it connects him to home in Wales, the Aberbargoed-raised star of AppleTV's Echo3 spoke openly from the heart about the time he couldn't be at his nana Lewis' bedside and instead sang her a song goodbye, knowing she would connect the sound of him singing with 'her boy', despite having dementia.

With the star talking about his brand new album, A Song For You, Luke revealed how important music and singing was to him and his family, especially with him filming around the world and generously spoke about his nan, Enid. He said: "I've always found music has been something that I've always enjoyed to do for my family. And when my grandmother, my Nana Lewis, Enid, died, I was in Australia.
