'He will remember this forever...'
Alex Warren, the American artist, has time and again proved his talent with a series of superhit songs. Apart from being an iconic star, he is also an adorable human being who loves his fans like no other. When a little boy was kicked out of Warren's concert for a legitimate reason, the "Chasing Shadows" artist decided to surprise him with a private concert he will never forget. Warren shared the beautiful moment on March 23, 2025, and so far, the video has gotten over 9 million views on Instagram.
The 6-year-old had to be escorted out of the concert due to age restrictions, and his dream of watching Warren perform live ended in pure disappointment. However, when Warren was informed about him, he decided to perform his favorite song exclusively for the little boy. "His favorite song is 'Ordinary,' so we are going to surprise him," Warren said. As promised, the singer did perform the little fan's favorite song of his. "You sounded great," Warren said, appreciating the boy as he also joined him for the impromptu concert. Kouvr Annon, Warren's wife, who witnessed the oh-so-beautiful moment, exclaimed, "My ovaries hurt now," trying hard to suppress her happy tears.

The profound gesture just goes on to prove how much Warren loves his fans; in fact, it's his way of giving back to the people who made him the man he is today. Warren had a tough childhood. He was 9 when his father died, and his mom slipped into alcohol addiction. At 18, Warren was kicked out of his home and had to sleep in his friends' cars, BBC reported. And now that the artist has everything he once dreamt of, he, perhaps, wants to give back to his fans through such meaningful gestures.

Meanwhile, the artist's beautiful gesture received an overwhelming response on social media. For example, praising Warren, @ellenann2.0 commented, "I must have watched this at least 10 times. I’m so glad I support the right creators." Similarly, @addy wrote, "Alex, he will remember this forever! I’ve been working with kids, and the biggest action of kindness and even the smallest is what they remember." A user who goes by @rylee_the_keeper on Instagram said, "You made the right decision to pick that kid because he got kicked out of your concert. You’re a really good man."
Another user, @talia.j._.m, shared, "At least you had age restrictions; there are some artists that need it and don’t have them and expose children to things that they shouldn’t be exposed to at such a young age. But going out of your way to make that child’s day is fantastic."
Echoing the sentiments, @katy shared, "My 6-year-old has been hoping to see you in concert, her very first one — but I can’t find info on if she’s allowed to go as far as age restrictions go! She’s a huge fan, so I’m hoping we don’t run into this same problem!" @katerj17 pointed out, "That ovary ache is real when a man we love does something so sweet! Keep up the beautiful connections! God bless you!" On the other hand, @priyanka.aj confessed, "Great gesture. Please do a concert for kids specifically. My daughter is 8 years old, and her favorite song is also 'Ordinary.'"
