Florence Welch has staged a special bedside concert for a dying fan.
A young girl in Austin had been due to attend Florence + The Machine's gig at the Austin360 Amphitheater on Thursday but she was forced to skip the show as she was too ill to leave the medical
centre.
Frontwoman Welch learned about this so decided to make it up to the 15-year-old by taking the show to her hospice room in Austin, Texas, where she performed just for the youngster, according to People.com.
Hospice Austin nurse Christie Kramer reveals medical staff reached out to Welch via the Christopher House community charity - but even after the singer gave her word to stop by for a visit, the patient's mother, Catherine Chen, wasn't convinced it would actually happen.
In a post online, Kramer explained, "We have a patient who held long cherished tickets to see Florence and The Machine last night with her BFF (best friend forever). All week through set back after set back she asked if she would be able to go.
