Brett Kissel got by with a little help from his fans during his national anthem performance at Sunday (April 30) night’s NHL playoff game between the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks.
The Canadian country star’s mic failed him before he even started singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” but fortunately he was able to rally the stadium to sing the song instead. The display of sportsmanship is particularly amazing since the game was being played in Edmonton, Alberta, with attendees performing their visiting rivals’ national anthem.
