Скачать или смотреть Aaron Lazar Receives Grammy Nomination for Debut Album Recorded After Being Diagnosed with ALS

Aaron Lazar received his first-ever Grammy nomination on Friday, Nov. 8, nearly three years after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The 48-year-old actor — known for roles on stage and screen, including musicals like The Light in the Piazza and Les Misérables, as well as Everything Everywhere All At Once — went public with the news that he had the progressive neurogenerative disorder in January, earning a groundswell of support from the Broadway community and propelling Lazar into the spotlight as he vowed not to fight the disease, but instead to achieve his impossible dream of healing from it.

Months later, in August, Lazar released his debut album, aptly titled Impossible Dream. For the milestone, Lazar collaborated with a collection of decorated megastars from across the music, film, television and theater industry including Josh Groban, Neil Patrick Harris, Leslie Odom Jr., Kelli O'Hara, Kate Baldwin, Norm Lewis and Loren Allred.

There was also a special duet with the late Rebecca Luker, who died at the age of 59 in 2020, just 10 months after receiving her ALS diagnosis.
