If this story doesn’t warm your heart, get yourself to the ER immediately — because your heart has clearly stopped working.

Reddit user “Gaschief” has shared the following story, which makes me believe in the good of humanity again:

“My mate met Justin Chancellor while walking around Sydney and said he was a massive fan, Justin asked if he was coming to the gig tonight and when he said he couldn’t because he’s a struggling muso, Justin made sure to grab his name and get him a ticket for the show. What a legend.”

As a bonus, Metal Injection points out that the show in question was the very same one where Tool gave their song “7empest” a live debut. Gaschief’s mate is a lucky, lucky boy. I just hope poor Chancellor doesn’t now get a million broke fans tracking him down and demanding free tickets.

Assuming you can’t find Chancellor and you can afford tickets, upcoming Tool live dates are as follows:

02/20 Boondall, AUS – Brisbane Entertainment Centre [tickets]
02/22 Melbourne, AUS – Rod Laver Arena [tickets]
02/23 Melbourne, AUS – Rod Laver Arena [tickets]
02/28 Auckland, NZ – Spark Arena [tickets]
02/29 Auckland, NZ – Spark Arena [tickets]
03/09 Spokane, WA – Spokane Arena [tickets]
03/11 Portland, OR – Moda Center [tickets]
03/12 Eugene, OR – Matthew Knight Center [tickets]
03/14 Boise, ID – Ford Idaho Center Arena [tickets]
