Upper Moreland Senior Citizen Surprised With Tickets To See Lady Gaga

UPPER MORELAND, PA — Lady Gaga is a hero to one Upper Moreland man, and his retirement community to now trying to fulfill his dream of meeting her in person.

The staff at Wesley Enhanced Living, a continuing care retirement community, recently surprised Henry Allhiser, 82, with tickets to see Lady Gaga on Monday night.

The community offers something called a WEL Wishes program, which helps some of their senior residents fulfill their lifelong dreams.

The organization reached out to the public in August to ask for help in Allhiser to fulfill his. They had hoped that if the below social media post was shared widely enough, Lady Gaga would take notice.

"While there has been no response from the Mother Monster herself," said Brian Price, a spokesperson for Wesley, there was "pure joy and surprise" and Henry's face when he was presented with the tickets.

Allhiser, a music aficionado, has seen numerous star acts in his life, ranging from Elvis Presley and Kenny Rodgers to Tiny Tim and John Denver. The music of Lady Gaga has "really resonated with him," and he noted that her sound is unique in her generation.
