Nathan Jones, 22, from Cowes, working at the Isle of Wight festival and meets his idol.
Nathan's father Clive said his son, who lives with Alfis Syndrome, is still "blown away" by the moment
Singer Jessie J surprised a superfan, who lives with a rare learning disability, when she gave him a hug while back stage at a music festival.His father Clive said his son, who lives with Alfi's syndrome or 9p deletion syndrome - a rare genetic anomaly in which a portion of chromosome nine is missing, was still "blown away" and "so proud" to have walked around the festival "like royalty"."He said he had seen her earlier in the day and was in tears.
"It was manic and there was a lot of people around but I pointed Jessie to Nathan and she gave him 10 minutes of her time... she gave him the biggest and most beautiful hug." She added that after four years of photographing the festival this was "easily one of the highlights"."He taught her some Romanian words because his mother lives over there and he found out that Jessie is touring there soon."
In a video of the interaction, shared on social media, Nathan can be heard offering Jessie J the chance to stay at his mother's accommodation when she tours Romania.Alfi's syndrome can cause developmental delay, irregular facial features, structural irregularities within the heart and genital defects."He's such a wonderful person and I think the world needs more Nathans - that would make it a beautiful place to be.
