When Colin Lillie walked onto The Voice stage with a determined stride, the audience fell silent. The rugged, bearded man wasn’t your typical contestant, and as the story unfolded, it was clear that Colin had a truly remarkable journey.

And let’s just say, no one was prepared for the emotional powerhouse that followed… just wait for that unforgettable chorus!
