Watch: Autistic boy tears up while watching his favourite band perform live

A father who posted the emotional moment when his autistic child couldn’t stop tearing up as he watched his favourite band play at a concert for the first time has struck a chord with millions of people on the Internet. Luis Vazquez had taken his son to a Coldplay concert at Mexico City’s Foro Sol stadium and had witnessed his son experiencing an array of emotions as he stood among the crowds of enthusiastic fans.

In the video, the apparently overwhelmed little boy is seen moving his shoulders and dancing and even crying at one point and putting his head in his hands as he listens to one of his favourite songs, ‘Fix You’, being played live by the popular British band. The video touched the hearts of other fans especially those with autism and was shared millions of times on social media after Vazquez posted it online.

Interestingly, the viral video even managed to reach Coldplay who went on to post it on their official page with the words: “This kind of thing makes it all worthwhile. Hola Luis y tu hijo hermoso! Love.”
