Yahoo News Stormzy performs touching tribute fan's father's funeral
Stormzy has once again proven to be one of the nicest people in music – scrap that, on the planet.
After a fan tweeted the musician a heartfelt plea for the singer to appear at his dad’s funeral, the hip hop artist responded in the most amazing way.
Nasir Bockarie tweeted the star, saying that his dad had passed away the day he graduated, and that Blinded By Your Grace was their favourite song of his.
‘Bro my Dad passed away on the day of my graduation last week Friday. Our favourite song of yours was blinded by your grace. Would love it if you could preform this at his funeral next Thursday 21st December. Don’t worry if you can’t, I just thought I’d try my luck #Hopeful’, the message read.

In true Stormzy fashion, the artist followed through on his promise, offering the bereaved man some respite.
‘All done bro! I’m actually speechless, praise god for humanity’, he gratefully replied.

Family members were taken aback by the gesture, too.
I'm still in shock that Stormzy is coming to perform at my uncles funeral tomorrow. I don't want to hear any slander about this man ever because I don't know many people who have a soul to match his.
