Adele made a surprise visit to twelve-year-old Rebecca Gibney, a young fan facing serious health challenges, right at her bedside. Despite being diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and blindness, Rebecca has shown remarkable strength, defying doctors’ predictions that she only had six months to live.
Rebecca has been largely bedridden but finds joy in listening to Adele’s music, often breaking into smiles and singing along when her favorite songs play. Her mother, Tracy, took to social media to appeal for Adele to visit after learning that the singer would be performing in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Tracy’s heartfelt request gained traction through an online petition.
On Tuesday, Adele surprised the Gibney family by stopping by their home before her concert that evening. The visit was a dream come true for Rebecca and left her mother in disbelief that their appeals had reached the superstar. Tracy expressed her gratitude on Twitter, stating, “I will never forget this day and night with my Rebecca and Adele,” and shared how Adele reassured her by saying she was “the best mummy in the world.” This unforgettable encounter did bring immeasurable joy to Rebecca and also uplifted Tracy’s spirits as a mother.
