If you need a breath to reaffirm there are still some good ones out there...

Out of nowhere, Green Day's frontman Billie Joe Armstrong asked an 11-year-old called Juul to join the band onstage after he caught his attention from the front row. Not believing his luck, Juul jumped at the opportunity and ran onstage. Armstrong gave Juul the guitar off his back and the youngster jammed with the band in front of the huge crowd at Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands. Juul didn’t show any signs of nervousness and showed the crowd some great stage moves, but suddenly, he was overcome with emotion. You can see the moment it all hits him as he bursts into tears on stage, Armstrong gives him a hug and tells him he can keep the guitar. Thankfully this heartwarming moment was caught on camera and reached 8.7 million views as people enjoy a genuinely beautiful moment on stage.
