WATCH: Young fan's unforgettable moment as he performs on stage with The Script
A young music fan had the night of his dreams on Saturday when he got to perform on stage alongside his favourite band, The Script, in Limerick.
Young 'Charlie', charmed the crowd as he sang and helped perform a little piano piece alongside his musical hero and The Script frontman, Danny O'Donoghue, on stage at Thomond Park.
O'Donoghue told the crowd at the band's only Irish date on their Satellites tour that he picked Charlie out of the masses after the lad caught his eye dressed in a Satellites Tour t-shirt and a Script bucket hat and waving a giant flag of the Irish pop-rock band.
Charlie performed a duet with O'Donoghue and the band on a mini circular stage located in the middle of the heaving crowd during a version of the band's ballad, Never Seen Anything - 'Quite Like You'.
'Everybody give it up for Charlie,' O'Donoghue screamed as he invited the boy to join him on stage.
Young Charlie warmed the heart of O'Donoghue and the crowd when he pointed at the singer and sang: 'I've never seen anything quite like you tonight.'
O'Donoghue returned the favour and said: 'I've never seen anything quite like Charlie tonight.'
'Deadly', beamed O'Donoghue after the boy hit the final note on the singer's piano to bring the Thomond theatre to its feet.
'They're all singing your name, bro,' the frontman said as the crowd chanted: 'Charlie… Charlie… Charlie."
O'Donoghue and the band rocked a sun-drenched Limerick with their anthem pop-rock, including hits such as Hall of Fame, The Man Who Can't Be Moved and Superheroes.
With Limerick recently used to winning senior hurling All-Irelands - five in the past eight years - The Script concert, at one point, was akin to another All-Ireland Final after-party as the band's light show shrouded fans in green and white during the group's storming Irish rock anthem Paint The Town Green.
On a glorious summer night, it all went to script.
