This is what music is all about: Tre, a 10-year-old boy with Fragile X Syndrome, had the time of his life seeing Foo Fighters’ recent concert in Chicago.
As his parents wrote on Instagram: “This is legit his favorite band. He can sing every album and they were instrumental (pun intended) in getting him to talk and sing.
“He would listen to the music and watch their concerts all the time growing up. He can almost perform them verbatim. They really cultivated his love of music. If you are ever at the house he may grab his guitar and play for you.
“Fragile X is a super power for somethings. Tre loves what he loves with his whole heart.
“I’m sure the band knows how loved they are. But this video is pure joy of seeing his favorite band for the first time. So if you need a pick me up here it is.”
Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition caused by a mutation on the X chromosome that impacts brain development, often leading to intellectual disabilities, behavioral challenges, and sensory sensitivities. Anyone interested in supporting families like Tre’s can donate to the National Fragile X Foundation to help fund critical research, education, and advocacy efforts.
Foo Fighters are on tour through with Queens of the Stone Age through September.
