One of Shania Twain’s biggest fans not only sang his heart out this weekend—he also got the chance to meet her backstage.
Luke Whelan was over the moon when he found out Twain would be headlining the Churchill Park Music Festival.
His mom Lynn Palfrey was quick to buy tickets for her and her son, but things only went “up” from there.
Prior to the concert, an anonymous donation was made to the Shania Twain Foundation and arrangements were made for Luke to meet his favourite musician.
Luke came prepared with a gift of flowers and a bracelet for Twain, with the two sharing a special moment backstage.
He told the country star that he didn’t have down syndrome; he had Up! syndrome, to which Twain replied “that’s brilliant, Lukey!”
Twain later dedicated her song Up! to Luke who was dancing the night away in the audience.
