As 2018 was ending, so did Solomon’s cancer treatments and to celebrate this huge achievement, Solomon danced to his favorite Michael Jackson tune, “Billie Jean” and the video of which has been viewed over a million times online.
Lutui said her son has been through a lot and has come out stronger, cancer has taken the life of Solomon’s dad who passed away from brain cancer just four years earlier while Solomon was just 10 months old.

Solomon’s dancing has put a smile on his family’s face who were grappling with the loss of Solomon’s father’s death and his own stomach cancer.
Lutui sais, “(The videos have) definitely shared a light of hope and faith to others who might’ve seen their situation as a difficult one, there’s always something to be thankful for, or to dance and celebrate about, even if it’s just waking up the next morning.”
