Superstar singer Adele recently invited Christian singer Jamie Grace to come up on stage during her Los Angeles concert and sing a couple songs.

Grace explains why it was so important for her to be at Adele’s concert and what it meant to her when Adele invited her up on stage:

“My birthday is in November and I’ll be 25—which is big year for me—on Nov. 25,” Grace explained to AJC. “Adele’s new album is called ‘25’ and I’m shooting a documentary called ‘Waiting for 25,’ so I’m very emotional about the number 25 right now. With that, I wanted to buy tickets to see her for my 25th birthday and this was the only show I could get tickets for and I spent three hours online trying to get them. So I said, let’s celebrate my birthday three months early.”

RelevantMagazine.com notes that Adele apparently did not know that Grace was a Grammy-nominated singer, but she warmly invited Grace to come on stage and sing a couple songs.

Adele told Grace, “Sing whatever you like.”

Grace sang part of Adele’s ‘Remedy,’ as well as Elvis’s ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love With You.’ Adele and the crowd cheered enthusiastically after Grace's performance.
