Cancer Survivor Rohan Herring Sings "I Believe I Can Fly" on X Factor, Leaves Everybody in Tears

Herring, of Albion Park, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia in May 2011. Through months of chemotherapy, Herring said he gained strength and courage through singing, a hobby he reconnected with during long recoveries in hospitals and at home.

In particular, the song 'I Believe I Can Fly' by R. Kelly, and the work of Ronan Keating, were the pillars of strength he drew from during his cancer battle.
