Beyoncé makes video call to teen with cancer
Beyoncé, who recently surprised fans by announcing that she is expecting twins, is gaining attention again for connecting with a fan in a special way.
The singer surprised a teenager battling a rare form of cancer with a video call on Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported.
Ebony Banks, a high school student from Texas whose cancer has reached stage 4, dreamed of meeting the superstar. Her friends started the hashtag #EbobMeetsBeyonce to get her attention, the Daily News reported.
Their plan worked.
"It was like wow, it really happened," Shanya McKnight, Ebony's friend, told KHOU. "We actually got her attention."
