Florence Welch, lead singer of Florence and the Machine, visited a terminally ill fan in an Austin, Texas, hospice Friday.

Welch stopped by Hospice Austin’s Christopher House to visit a teenage fan who had tickets to her show, but was unable to attend due to her illness. Welch sang “Shake It Out” and “Dog Days Are Over.”

A YouTube video of the event went viral, garnering hundreds of thousands of views. The girl’s mom, Catherine Chen, posted video from the performance on Instagram writing, “@florence of #Florence&TheMachine is such a beautiful and kind soul!! She brought so much joy to all of us today. What a Blessing!!”

Hospice aims to provide comfort care and pain management rather than aggressive treatments- usually for terminally ill patients with six months or less to live. Hospice is most often used when curative treatments are no longer effective.
