The sight of her long-time pop idol made Megan Nicholson’s heart stop beating.
Snapping selfies with her goddaughter as she geared up to see her idol Adele in concert, Megan Nicholson was the picture of health.
With her 47th birthday a week away, her adoring husband Andrew had splurged on a VIP ticket so his wife could get up close and personal with the singing sensation, who she refers to as her “girl crush”.
But the generous gift would almost be the mother-of-two’s last, after she went into cardiac arrest just over an hour into the sold-out show at ANZ Stadium in March.
“I feel like I’ve been kissed by the angels,” Megan tells Woman’s Day exclusively from her home in Sydney. “I was dead. My family almost lost me. I am their universe.”
PERSONAL GIFT
Knowing Adele shares her passion for Hello Kitty paraphernalia, Megan, a voiceover artist and medical receptionist, bought a diamante bracelet featuring the fictional character that she planned to throw to the star on stage.
Spotting Adele walking her way, Megan seized the opportunity to present her gift, leaving goddaughter Emily, 21, to keep an eye on their handbags while she ran towards the front of the stage.
