(Radio.com) Typically a man of few (spoken) words on stage, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor delighted a Las Vegas audience this weekend with a surprising act of kindness.

During the middle of Saturday's show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Reznor dialed up OC Weekly's cancer-stricken photographer Andrew Youssef for a FaceTime session, then dedicated "In This Twilight" to the diehard Nine Inch Nails fan.

"I want to have a Bono moment and try to FaceTime him," Reznor said to the crowd before calling Youssef. "Listen, I just wanted to tell you that I miss you man. I wish you were here," said Reznor over the 'Andrew' chants coming from the crowd.

Youssef, formerly a pharmacist by day and concert photographer by night, has stage four colon cancer, and has chronicled his experiences in his OC Weekly column, Last Shot. more on this story
