As if Australians couldn’t love Pink any more.
The US superstar, 44, carved time out from her Aussie tour to meet six-year-old Brisbane girl Lillian Harris, who was born with a terminal heart condition, before her show at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday.
The unforgettable encounter saw Pink share one-on-one time with her biggest fan backstage at the concert, in which the singer could be seen sitting cross legged on the floor as she serenaded Lillian with Cover Me In Sunshine.
“Hi babe! You look so good in that shirt,” Pink could be seen saying to Lillian in a video uploaded to social media.
“I’m really happy that you’re here, and I’m happy to meet you.”
Pink also presented Lillian with gifts before giving her and mother Angela a big hug.
And the surprises didn’t end there.
During the sold-out show, the music introduction for What About Us began playing – which is Lillian’s favourite song – with Pink declaring onstage, “This one’s for you Lillian.”
Hundreds of people flooded the comment section of the video, which was uploaded to the public Facebook account ‘Lillians Harris Heart Journey’, with many saying the sweet story brought them to tears.
“How human is Pink sitting on the floor with crossed legs talking to this beautiful little girl at her own level. This kindness will always stay in all their hearts forever,” one user wrote.
“So many happy tears shed to see miss Lillian having the night of her life, thank you to the everyone involved and especially Pink for putting on an amazing show and showing miss Lillian the love she deserves,” another said.
“Pink is so special … such a fabulous woman,” a third said.
“Oh made my heart. So glad you got to meet your idol princess,” a fourth wrote.
Hit Network’s Stav, Abby & Matt in Brisbane made the special meet-and-greet happen, after receiving an influx of messages about Lillian being a diehard Pink fan.
The trio had Angela on their show last week, where they presented her with 10 tickets for the whole family to attend Pink’s concert.
Angela later thanked B105 Brisbane “for making this night happen.”
“It will be a night to remember,” she added.
Pink is in Australia as part of her Summer Carnival stadium tour.
She’s next set to play on the Gold Coast Tuesday night, before travelling south to Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium.
She’ll later hit the stage at Adelaide Oval in Adelaide, and finish up at Optus Stadium in Perth.
For this tour, she’s brought along the whole family: husband Carey Hart, and their two kids, Willow, 12, and James, 7.
