A B.C. man is gaining a lot of attention online after attending a Billy Talent concert in Penticton and being lifted up by the crowd in his wheelchair. Francis Laderoute has done this before and shares his strategy."The first time I saw them was the most influential in setting the stage for me just adoring live music," he said.
