Beyonce serenades girl with leukaemia on Sydney stage
Beyonce serenaded an Australian girl with leukaemia on stage in Sydney.
The bejewelled singer knelt to sing a lush version of Halo for the girl, Chelsea, before embracing her. Chelsea wiped tears from her eyes.
She appeared on morning television after the Acer Arena concert with her mother and broke out a few bars on request. The fair child has been partly balded by her treatment. But her eyes were made up with eyeliner to show a striking freckled face framed by wisps of hair.
A video of the heartfelt tribute that included the chorus “I Pray You Won’t Fade Away” surfaced on YouTube.
Chelsea’s age was not given but she appeared to be about nine. The performance left many in the audience in tears.
