Hear the incredible story of the 5 Live listener who says his life was saved after hearing musician Sam Fender performing live on Nihal Arthanayake. After listening to the song Dead Boys, the man, who we have called Ben, emailed a letter of thanks to Nihal saying the song 'pulled me back from the brink of oblivion.' Nihal and Sam went to meet Ben, at one of Sam's gigs, to talk about the letter and how Ben is now managing his feelings.
