Rapper Eminem granted the final wish of a 17-year-old terminally ill fan who was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, by meeting him.

The 42-year-old rapper visited Gage Garmo's house in Michigan, which is about 20 minutes from his own house Sunday, reports tmz.com.

Eminem arranged a quiet home visit for Garmo because he didn't want the visit to become a publicity stunt.

He spent about an hour of talking with Garmo, who was told that he had only one week to live. The fan was in good spirits during and after the visit.

Garmo's friends and family previously created the hashtag #GetGageGarmoToMeetEminem in order to make him meet his idol.
