Darius Rucker
Feb 14, 2011
Capitol Records Nashville artist Darius Rucker is the latest artist added as a celebrity spokesperson for the American Cancer Society's "More Birthdays" campaign, which promotes cancer awareness, healthy living and celebrates cancer survival. Darius joins artists like labelmates Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and more, who have been filmed singing the "Happy Birthday" song a cappella in videos for the cause.
Darius recently told AOL's The Boot, "I wanted to get involved because cancer affects everybody. Cancer is such a devastating thing. The American Cancer Society is working hard to make it so there's less cancer and more birthdays. They want to do more than just awareness; they want to help people stay healthy. Birthdays are even more of a reason to celebrate life. I hope that the people who hear my 'Happy Birthday' song remember life is precious."
Rucker has been personally affected by the disease in his family, particularly through his father-in-law and niece who have fought their own battles. They join 11 million more people who have once again survived another year, celebrating another birthday.
