Triona Priestle, who had been fighting cystic fibrosis since she was a child, lost her battle against the disease last night, but not before receiving a phone call from her idol Ed Sheeran. After Tri's health took a turn for the worse on Sunday, her family started the Twitter campaign #SongForTri — Tri's final wish was for Ed to call and sing her favorite song to her.
After hearing about the campaign on Twitter, Ed made the arrangements to call his 15-year-old fan. Just minutes after their conversation, Triona passed away.
"Ed rang Triona and personally sang 'Little Bird' to her as she took her last breaths," a friend of Tri's wrote on Facebook. "Triona left us listening to her idol surrounded by all the people who loved her. People's respect is incredible. We would like to thank everyone."
When Ed learned that Triona had passed following his serenade, he tweeted:
How amazing was it for Ed to take the time to sing to Triona?
