Kellie Pickler shaves head as she stands in solidarity with her best friend, a breast cancer survivor, and appeared on Good Morning America.
The country singer lost her locks as a show of solidarity to her best childhood friend, Summer Miller, who is battling breast cancer and starts chemotherapy tomorrow. Pickler refers to Miller as her "sister" and decided to undergo the hair buzzing yesterday in Nashville alongside Miller, who received her diagnosis this past June.
"Cancer does not discriminate," Pickler Pickler said in a statement to ABC News. "If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it," Miller added.
Pickler sent us this exclusive video of the head shaving in action. She explained that Summer is only 35, and in addition to helping her friend through a tough time, she wanted to spread the message that early detection is key.
