Boy With Autism Is Moved to Tears As Coldplay Performs "Fix You"

Video from Luis Vazquez/Youtube

Listening to Coldplay's "Fix You" is enough to stir emotions. But seeing a six-year-old boy moved to tears while the band performs it at a live show is something else. It makes it difficult not to cry with him. 

Dad Luis Vasquez shared a video on YouTube of him and his son headed to a Coldplay show in Mexico City with his little boy skipping with excitement. Later at the concert, Coldplay could be heard playing their popular song "Fix You." The boy burst into tears, but he is jumping up and down to the music with his dad. 

As his emotions intensify, his dad's eyes fill up with tears as the music dips into the final lines of the song: "Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones. And I will try to fix you." Dad brings his little boy into his arms, and the video fades.

Reaching over 3.6 million views, the video has already caught Coldplay's attention with the band sending out this tweet: "This kind of thing makes it all worthwhile. Hola Luis y tu hijo hermoso! (Hello Luis and your beautiful son) Love."

Here's to the power of music and love!
