Adele, you’re just too much.

Yesterday, the singer made Patrick James, of Voice of Ireland fame, very happy when she said that she would “sort him out” when he couldn’t get a ticket for either of her Dublin dates this weekend.

As well as this lovely gesture, the mother of one responded to Belfast mother Tracy Gibney’s request for Adele to meet her 12-year-old daughter Rebecca.

Belfast Live reports that Rebecca has cerebral palsy and epilepsy and in December, doctors told Tracy that her daughter had just six months to live.

“Hoping to help Rebecca meet Adele, Tracy set up a Facebook page where she wrote: “I have a very sick daughter who has 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 bedtime. All I am asking for is for Adele to FaceTime wee Rebecca or send her a video message. It would be her dream come true, Please, please help me for my beautiful sick little daughter”.

Tracy and her family sent numerous emails to Adele’s management and they were delighted when the award-winning star visited Rebecca at her home in Short Strand earlier this week.
