His Dad Died One Month Before He Got to Sang on The Voice | The Voice

Charlie Pittman's father — an Australian man who had always dreamed of seeing his son perform in his home country — was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer that had spread to his liver in May 2020, and died just one month before Charlie walked onto The Voice Australia Season 12 in 2023 to sing Dean Lewis' "How Do I Say Goodbye" as a direct tribute to him, turning three chairs from Jessica Mauboy, Guy Sebastian and Jason Derulo — while Rita Ora, unable to turn because her team was full, snuck a peek anyway and watched with tears forming — before Charlie chose Guy Sebastian as his coach, applied for the show "on a whim," and powered all the way to the Grand Finale where Guy joined him on stage to sing "Torn," finishing runner-up to Tarryn Stokes in what became one of the most emotionally charged journeys in Voice Australia history. 🔔 Subscribe for more full journey videos every week: www.youtube.com/@TheVoiceVault?sub_confirmation=1 WHAT IS A JOURNEY VIDEO?
