An Irish teenager who was surprised by singer Adele two years ago has sadly passed away.

Rebecca Gibney, 14, died on St Stephen’s Day after struggling with cerebral palsy, epilepsy and blindness.

Two years ago, Adele made Rebecca’s dreams come true by visiting her bedside in Belfast, after Rebecca’s mum Tracy launched an online campaign to try to get a message from Adele.

According to Independent.ie, Tracy paid tribute to her “angel” daughter by saying, “She was my world; she was Joanna’s world, we would have kept her with us forever, only it wouldn’t have been fair on Rebecca.”

“Everyone who met her loved her. We were delighted when Adele called to our house.

“Rebecca listened to her music all day and at night when I put her to bed I had to put Adele on for her, you could see it made her happy,” she added.
