Adele kicked off her European tour in support of her 2015 album '25', at the SSE Arena in Belfast on Monday night (February 29).

And heartwarmingly, the star took time out during her busy schedule to pay a surprise visit to a terminally ill fan. 

The British superstar visited the Northern Irish home of 12-year-old Rebecca Gibney in Belfast.

Rebecca is blind and suffers from both cerebral palsy and epilepsy, but is a huge fan of Adele’s, listening to her music day and night.

Rebecca’s mother, Tracy, had launched a social media campaign last year urging the 'Hello' singer to stop by.

However she was completely taken by surprise when she actually did, saying:

“I can’t believe it, I’m just over the moon. My daughter got to meet the person that she loved and that’s what I’ll always take with me for the rest of my life.

"Adele played with her hair, held her hand and asked her all about Frozen. She was really lovely.”
