When his nurse, whose name is Alex, found out he is a musician, she brought in her guitar and convinced him to sing with her.

That led to bedside performances during chemo treatments.

Their version of the Christmas classic "O Holy Night" was recorded Sunday by Pennington's daughter. It quickly went viral.

It’s already received more than 131,000 views.
