Florence and the Machine sang a surprise duet with a sick fan who couldn't make her gig
FLORENCE AND THE Machine are currently in the middle of a massive world tour, and stopped off in Austin, Texas last week.

Sadly, one dedicated fan that had “cherished” her tickets for the gig was unable to attend.
The terminally ill teenager, who is currently staying in a hospice facility in the city, had been asking staff about the gig for days – writing on Facebook, nurse practitioner Christie Kremer said it broke her heart to tell her she couldn’t go:

Through a “remarkable effort” on the part of the hospice staff, they contacted Florence and asked her to visit the girl. The singer promised that she would, but they were afraid she wouldn’t make it.
Florence sang Shake It Out and Dog Days Are Over with the teenager, at one point stopping to praise her “good harmony”.
A video of their duet has been shared thousands of times on Facebook – and it will make you tear up.
