Carman

Christian singer and pioneer Carman Licciardello just finished the his 52-City Live Across America Tour and shared some of his thoughts about his whirlwind year on Facebook.

"When I finished the kickstarter campaign and then started the Live across America Campaign I made a promise," Carman wrote, "I would record a New CD, Video, Start the first National tour in 14 years and sing on 100 stages across the USA."

He then shared some of his struggles as he was battling cancer, and the outcome was looking grim as even he at times thought his life was coming to an end.

"It was a rough year. The first 5 months I was deep into Chemotherapy fighting incurable cancer. During treatment I finished recording the record and the video screens," he revealed, "6 weeks after being released I started the tour. I had zero energy and barely mustered up 90 minutes worth of performance, was drained at the meet and greets but did them all, then crashed the moment I walked on the bus for 10-12 hours."

Despite his exhaustion, Carman was encouraged by the entire tour and kept his eyes set on the task at hand, winning people for Christ.

"Now I'm fine, healthy and strong. Back in the gym and 2,500 salvations later, I'm 48 concerts away from fulfilling my promise starting again in February. So if you were at any of the concerts or have any keen observations, now is the time to hear your comments," he wrote.

48 more concerts will put him at 100, but it is unclear if he is taking a short break because he wrote "last night of a 52 day tour."

"In less than a week I'll be releasing a new Christmas CD and DVD only available for download to my partners and friends on Facebook. So tell us all what you feel, what you've seen or what your praying for the future of this ministry. 350,000 folks are listening : )" Carman concluded.
