If you find yourself emotional after watching this video, it won’t be because John Mayer’s delivering an apology.

Over the weekend, the singer - who’s been uncharacteristically quiet since his Playboy magazine scandal - granted a wish for one of his audience members. During Sunday’s concert in Philadelphia, Mayer brought an 11-year-old holding a sign that read: “Can I play ‘Belief’ with you?”

Austin Christy, who has been playing the guitar for two years now, told a local paper that he had been secretly practicing that song to surprise his mom one day. It’s her favorite. “I believed in him that he would pull me up on stage and he believed in me that I would do a good job,” Christy said about being chosen.

“John Mayer, from the first time he came out, I feel Austin had definitely caught his eye,” JoAnna Christy, the boy’s mother, said about the moment.

As a parting gift, Austin was given something to remember the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by: the red Squier guitar and picks he got to use during the performance.

The memorabilia - which Austin plans to frame - came with a little message: “To Austin, You rock. Keep playing. See you at your show.”
