A dying man had one wish--to meet Steven Tyler...

...and Steven Tyler delivered.

Lawrence Ori, 62, was a big fan of Aerosmith. He even had the band's name tattooed on his arm. His last dying wish was to somehow be able to meet the band's long-time lead singer, Steven Tyler.

Ori had supernuclear palsey, which is a degenerative condition that eventually renders a person unable to talk or move. He was surrounded by friends and family in his Chicago hospice bed when Steven Tyler Skyped in from L.A. and spoke to Ori via a laptop.

Ori couldn't speak so his girlfriend spoke for him.

Ori passed away a few hours later.

Here's a video of Tyler's Skype call to Ori:
