Beyonce thrills blind fan with concert dedication
Beyonce thrilled a blind fan by dedicating a performance to her during a concert in Australia on Friday (08Nov13).
The Halo hitmaker was performing in Perth as part of her The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour when she singled out 13-year-old Sophie Kotkis, who is blind and suffers from mild cerebral palsy.
Beyonce reportedly kissed the girl on the cheek and dedicated a
performance of her track Irreplaceable to her, before asking the
youngster to help sing the hit song.
Sophie's sister Ellie brought her younger sibling to the star's
attention by making a video explaining her condition to children's
charity Hope For Children, who later sent it to Beyonce.
Ellie tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "She's never really
been able to go to a concert due to logistical reasons so I made a
video about Sophie. Even with everything that she's been through,
she's been able to do so much. She raised over $1,000 for people
with multiple sclerosis."
