Adele made 12-year-old Rebecca Gibney's dream come true. Following online campaigns by Rebecca's mother, the singer made a surprise visit to the young girl's home in Belfast, Northern Ireland and sat by her bed with the family.
She dropped by the Gibneys' residence after her first concert in the city to meet terminally-ill Rebecca who wanted to meet the Grammy winner. The star offered the family tickets to her second show on Tuesday at the Short Strand area.
Before Adele's first show, Rebecca's mom, Tracy, launched a petition on Change.org to get the "Hello" hitmaker to meet her "very sick daughter who's [cerebral palsy], epilepsy, can't walk or talk and is tube fed, she has recently became bed bound."
"She listens to Adele from she gets up in the morning until her bed time, all I am asking for is for Adele to FaceTime we Rebecca or send her a video message, it would be her dream come true, please please help for my beautiful sick little daughter," Tracy wrote.
She also tweeted, "I am going to see Adele tomorrow night can anybody help me to get to meet her back stage and tell her all about wee Rebecca thanks" and several other similar pleas along with pictures of her daughter.
According to Tracy, she hadn't got any reply from Adele's team so she's shocked to find the star show up on her doorstep. "It happened!!! Thank you so much for liking and sharing everyone, I'm overwhelmed and couldn't be any happier for my baby, still in shock! Adele is just amazing xx," she wrote on Facebook.
