Oh God. I honestly couldn't watch the video - just reading the article had me in tears. I know I'll never be able to listen to the song in the same way again. His son was named after John and Paul, so I guess it's fitting to send him on with a Beatles tune.

After reading the comments above, I'm afraid to even click on the thing.

Same. That poor man lost everything in an instant.

Really don't want to see/feel the video at all, but I hope he turns up to be ok someday.

The story is the heartbreaking part. The video is beautiful. Trust me.

My wife is due to give birth to our first son in three weeks. This really hit me.
