Michael Buble halts Newcastle show to make super fan's night at Utilita Arena

Michael Buble gave one of his fans an unexpected moment to remember on Tuesday night, as he climbed down from the stage to get a selfie, having heard that she was seeing him for the NINETEENTH time.

After dazzling the Geordie faithful with his first of two consecutive shows on Monday, the Canadian showman was back in the spotlight at the Utilita Arena on Tuesday evening, with another captive audience awaiting his arrival. And among them was a fan named Sam, who was lucky enough to get her hands on a towel that Michael threw into the crowd after a few songs.

And, Sam's night got even better when, having asked her name, Michael was told she'd been to see him 19 times. Immediately impressed with her dedication, Michael put things on a brief pause and got down off stage and into the audience to reward Sam with a hug and a selfie, as many others wished it was them, with one woman shouting: "Don't let him go!"

Showing that he was clearly keeping an eye on everyone, Michael then gave a special shout out to the man who lost out on the towel to Sam, a guy called Chris and vowed to dedicate the rest of the show to him.

Arriving around 15 minutes earlier on stage that the previous night, Michael charmed the Newcastle crowd with a set that kicked off with Feeling Good and featured the likes of Haven't Met You Yet, Home, Everything and It's A Beautiful Day, before wrapping up with an encore of Cry Me A River, How Sweet it Is and a rousing cover of Always on My Mind.
