Katy Perry Surprises Pulse Nightclub Survivor On Ellen

(Radio.com) Ellen DeGeneres had one powerful moment for a Pulse Nightclub survivor on her show last Thursday (September 8). Tony Marrero, who survived the June massacre at the Orlando nightclub, turned to Katy Perry's single "Rise" to help him recover.
