Late Late Toy Show star Adam King was given a massive ovation when he attended an Aslan gig in Killarney on Thursday evening.
Adam has been melting the public's heart ever since his appearance in December's special on RTE, with his positive spirit and 'hug for you' attitude inspiring many.
And as he and his family enjoyed a week in Killarney, they popped into an Aslan gig for a couple of tunes.
But when the band noticed Adam, they stopped playing for a moment to pay tribute to him.
Adam King Adventures tweeted a clip of the brilliant incident.
They said: "We had the most amazing time in Killarney this week! Thanks to all the places and people who made the experience unforgettable for the kids, and big thanks Aslan for the love yesterday evening when we popped in for a few songs!
"Kerry - you're beautiful. Hugs,"
The six-year-old had already captured the hearts of the nation with his virtual hug after he appeared on the RTE programme last year.

His dad David shared a video online praising Virgin Galactic for launching the message into the atmosphere.
He thanked Aileen Hayes, an Irish woman who works at Virgin Galactic, for making the "amazing team effort" happen.
David wrote: "When Adam appeared on the #LateLateToyShow, his message connected with people around the world, and none more than the Irish abroad.
"So many Irish diaspora told us they felt something special when they saw Adam (thank you). They felt connected to home, to friends, and to family."
One such person was Ms Hayes, who "moved by the power of Adam’s message", worked with Julie Mc Loughlin, who is a brand manager at Adam King Adventures, "to return a very special gift" to him.
