Four critically ill children have realised their dream of performing at Disneyland

Four critically ill children have realised their dream of performing at Disneyland Paris – alongside Eurovision’s Sam Ryder. Nine-year-olds Molly Townsend-Blazier and Jax Morris, along with Habiba Konate Naim, 13 and Eve Wilson, 16, took to the stage to perform a new track, ’Viva La Musique’, with the loveable performer. In the lead-up to the performance, the children joined Sam at AIR Studios in Hampstead, London, for a special rehearsal session in a space used by some of the world’s biggest artists, including Coldplay, Adele, Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney. The emotional performance in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle was timed to celebrate World Wish Day on 29th April and to mark the launch of Disney Music Festival [https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-gb/seasons/disney-music-festival/]. It was the result of a collaboration between Disneyland Paris, Make-A-Wish, and Sam Ryder – celebrating the life-changing power of a wish and the magic of music. Sam Ryder said: “Singing with these amazing kids was honestly one of the most meaningful and heart-warming things I’ve ever done. “They met as strangers and it was a joy to watch them become friends as we bonded over the power of music and singing.
