Chewbacca Mom covers Michael Jackson’s Heal the World and goes viral.
Texas native Candace Payne, known as the viral-video personality “Chewbacca Mom” has gone viral again on her Facebook Live page.
Instead of wearing a toy Wookie mask and laughing about her Star Wars love, Payne showed her serious side singing a cover of Michael Jackson’s Heal the World in tribute to the dead and wounded police officers from Thursday night’s shootings in Dallas, Texas.
In a post titled “Make the World a Better Place,” the 37-year-old Payne — who lives about 30 miles from Dallas in Grand Prairie — said:
“I’ve been spreading joy, and I’ve been hoping to do that, but I found myself over the last couple days being silent because I’ve been so sad and so hurt by what’s going on. … I’m very nervous to just share this with you because it’s so vulnerable, but I felt like someone needs to sing these lyrics again and sing them over our world and just be a good reminder.”
Since the posting Saturday, the video has garnered more than 3 million views.
