Adele Sings With Autistic Girl on Stage to Grant Her Wish [WATCH]

During her 105-date world tour in Manchester, Adele realized the dream of a 12-year-old girl, Emily Tammam, who wanted to sing with her. The girl was holding a pink sign with blank handwritten ink that says, "It's my dream to sing with Adele," Manchester Evening News reported.

Adele sang "Someone Like You" with the girl, who also has ADHD and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type three. Their duet amazed the 20,000 fans as she hit all the high notes and received a standing ovation.

“Adele is her favorite singer. Luckily we were very close to the small stage in the middle -- we were sat right next to the stage. She had a sign saying ‘It is my dream to sing with Adele’ which she held up. Right at the end at the second to last song of the night she was reading out one or two of the signs," Ray Tammam, Emily’s dad, said according to Mirror UK.

“She turned around and Emily put the lights on her sign, Adele saw it and said ‘Ok come on the stage’. She came up on the stage, as I was sat there thinking ‘Oh my god’. Emily went up quite happily, she loves singing. She sings every day of her life," he continued.

He also added that Adele is her favorite singer and that her favorite song is "Someone Like You" and that despite her "constant struggle with social situations ... she manages to sing in public" and "has a different persona when she is on stage."

“Adele was very nice to do that, she clearly didn’t have to do it. Emily said she wants to show people that have disabilities or mental issues they can still do mainstream things like singing they should not be stopped from doing them,” said Emily's father who is very happy for what Adele did.

The "Rolling in the Deep" singer will be doing three more sold out dates in Manchester and she will be in London's O2 Arena on March 15-22, Independent reported.
