Amos Abplanalp, an LDS Bishop in Florence, Arizona, and a psychological professional counselor at one of the local prisons, is the proud father of an amazingly talented 13-year-old daughter who is a contestant on this season’s America’s Got Talent program. Each of Evie Clair’s stunning and emotional performances, from her first until now, have left the audience awestruck.
Following her most recent performance of “Wings” by Birdy, Evie received a standing ovation from both the audience and all four judges. She sang the song in honor of her parents’ wedding anniversary and especially for her father as he continues to battle stage 4 colon cancer. Her dad discovered that he had cancer in April 2016. His first operation was unsuccessful and left him with a colostomy. Despite the challenges that he faces, he has continued as Bishop with strength and support from family and friends and blessings from above.
Less than two weeks after America’s Got Talent singer Evie Clair experienced a heartbreaking loss, she returned to the show to give a final performance that tugged on everyone’s heartstrings. The 13-year-old has been open about her father, Amos Abplanalp, and his battle with cancer — and she paid homage to her dad by singing Louis Armstrong’s 1967 classic “What a Wonderful World.”
Clair posted a stunning photo of herself with Amos during the clear days.
