Christian singer Carman Licciardello is humbled by the fact that he is the number one most searched artist in terms of concert ticket sales, and he is thanking God and his fans for making his success possible.
"I DONT KNOW HOW BUT, WE MADE THE NEWS: After taking a pole of last years concert searches, itickets released this statement: 'CARMAN is the #1 searched for artist on www.iTickets.com (from 2014)'" he shared on his Facebook page.
Carman considers the distinction "pretty amazing" since other Christian artists such as Toby Mac, 3rd Day, Jeremy Camp, Hillsong, Jesus Culture, Switchfoot, and Bethel Music have a huge and loyal fan base.
He says that the honour given by the website is not just for him but also for his fans, and that is why he is committed to giving them "the best I possibly can."
"You have supported me, prayed me through cancer, given in the kickstarter campaign and as a group, resurrected this ministry," he said. "I want to give you better production, more salvations, stay healthy."
Carman was first diagnosed with myeloma in February 2013, and was given only a few years left to live. But he bravely battled his cancer and now he is "strong and cancer free."
"God can turn anything around," said Carman. "He can keep you through the worse of times. Restore the years the locusts have eaten away. Give you peace and confidence when everyone else is loosing thier minds. I've been through it. I know."
To honour his fans' support, the 59-year-old decided to go on the second leg of his "No Plan B" tour, which started on January this year and will run until May 16.
He even urged his fans to bring an unsaved loved one to a concert of his, because "God inhabits the praises of His people" and "the Holy Spirit draws the lost to Jesus."
