Justin Timberlake News: Hit Maker Sings ‘Happy Birthday’ As Gift To ‘Special’ Eight-Year Old Fan, Boy’s Mom Blogged JT’s Act

Justin Timberlake News: Some 25,000 Justin Timberlake fans joined him in singing a Happy Birthday song intended for a boy with autism at the SAP Center on August 11 in San Jose, California in the middle of his concert. The song is intended as a birthday from Timberlake to Julian in response to the latter's request for his 8th birthday.

Sources called the act as "gift of a lifetime" and to show his appreciation, Julian wears a black suit, a fedora and a JT-branded bow tie specially prepared for the concert.

In the middle of the concert, Julian is said to loudly chant "It's my birthday!! This is my present! This is my present! I I Love You JT!" while he was seated behind the "model-esque girls" as what Julian's mother, Marika Rosenthal Delan said. The boy's chanting got the crowd's attention and thus prompted them to chant with them getting Timberlake's attention.

The singer is seen to willingly acquiesce to the boy's wishes with the crowd singing with him.

Julian's mother Marika shared her heart-warming story in her personal blog, The Manifest Station and stated her son's request: to see the hit maker in flesh and blood in a concert. And on that day, Julian's parents made his wish come true by buying tickets to Timberlake's concert.

"It took us over an hour just to get outside the arena whilst Julian was high-fiving and fist-bumping everyone that stopped him," Julian's mother wrote. "Thank you for showing me I was wrong about what the world would do when they saw my son. Thank you for seeing him and not just his disability."

A video of the mass singing has reaped thousands and hits on YouTube and one can see Julian's beaming smile which is interpreted as a sign of gratefulness for the once-in-a-lifetime event.  Pictures of a happy Julian with a JT fedora hat can also be seen in Marika's Instagram.
