Adele Surprises 12-Year-old Irish Fan with Bedside Visit
Adele surprised a struggling young fan with a “Hello” right at her bedside.
The little girl, defying the odds of survival, had a “dream come true” when the superstar singer came to visit her home.
Twelve-year-old Rebecca Gibney has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and is blind. Doctors told her last year she only had six months to live, but she’s beaten their predictions.
Rebecca has been bedridden for some time now, but there are bright moments in her day — when she hears a song by Adele, she breaks out in a smile and sings along.
When Rebecca’s mom, Tracy, learned the singer’s tour was coming to Belfast, Northern Ireland where they live, she appealed to Adele on social media and through an online petition to visit the little girl.
Adele surprised the Gibney’s on Tuesday, stopping off at their house for a visit before inviting Rebecca and her mother to the concert as her guests later that night.
Tracy was shocked that her appeals actually reached the star.
“I will never forget this day and night my Rebecca and Adele,” Tracy tweeted.
“It’s made me feel like I’m the best mummy in the world which I never felt,” Tracy told the BBC. “Adele told me I was the best mummy in the world too.”
