Tissues at the ready, happy tears are about to be shed.
If you haven't heard, Maroon 5 are now the best and nicest band to exist.
Here's what happened:
A ten-year old boy with Downs Syndrome named Christopher won tickets through an American radio station to one of Maroon 5's shows, with a meet and greet too. At school, Christopher works really hard to earn breaks so he can listen to their CDs. For a project at school he decided to do a poster about the band. That's how much he loves them. When he got backstage and saw the band, he started having a panic attack and his way of coping was to lie on the ground. I think he handled it well actually. I wouldn't have been in control of my bladder, legs, face or mouth if I'd met them. Some up-themselves celebrities might have become awkward or not known how to react - but not Maroon 5. The band lay on the ground with their little superfan and chilled with him until he felt calmer. They took selfies with him too!
What makes this story EVEN nicer is that Maroon 5 really didn't want any publicity for doing it, they just did it because they're nice people. A guy from the radio station who supplied the tickets began circulating this story because he felt Maroon 5 were such great guys they deserved some recognition for their coolness.
Here's the full video:
Best comment of the day about Christopher is:

GOODBYE HEART IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU BUT YOU ARE NOW THE LEGAL PROPERTY OF MAROON 5.
Let's all try to remember that a little bit of kindness can go a very long way.
