Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine treated a 10-year-old fan with Down syndrome to the band's concert.
Maryland resident Christopher Warner isn't shy about showcasing his love for Maroon 5 and the band's lead singer.
"He loves to listen to their music during work breaks," special education teacher Avery Stanert told Today.com about her star student who has down syndrome, reports eonline.com.
"He draws pictures of them. He just absolutely loves them," added Stanert, who created a video to prove how big of a fan Warner was.
The YouTube video quickly went viral and attracted the attention of Hot 99.5's "The Kane Show". Knowing Maroon 5 was coming to town, the radio team decided to work a few connections.
"They arranged for backstage passes and tickets. They immediately called the record label and worked it out," Stanert said.
After arriving at the Verizon Center here, Warner, his mother and a group of teachers headed backstage where they met with Levine and the band.
Warner got a little nervous and crouched down to the floor when meeting his idol. Levine then suggested everyone else get on the floor too.
"He's a typical 10-year-old boy. He loves music, he loves drawing, he loves his friends. He's just a very caring, really amazing boy," his teacher shared after the special encounter.
