Florence Welch sings to sick teen in hospital room

Florence Welch went to the Christopher House hospice in Austin, Texas, to privately perform for a fan who had missed her concert.

The 15-year-old girl sang along with Welch’s acoustic renditions of “Shake it Out” and “Dog Days are Over,” as her family and friends looked on.

At one point, most of the people in the room start to sing.

The hospice released a statement that said, “today we were privileged to witness the clear joy of a room full of teenagers singing with Florence Welch and guitarist Rob Ackroyd from Florence and The Machine who came to Hospice Austin’s Christopher House to give a private concert to a teen who missed her concert last night due to her illness.”

“The room was full; full of joy and warmth and love and life and singing. Thank you, Florence!”

You might need the tissues for this one.
