Christopher Duffley, 14, stole the show yesterday evening before a Boston Red Sox game.

Christopher was born prematurely, weighing just 1lb 2oz and was rendered blind due to Retinopathy of Prematurity, a disease which attacks the undeveloped blood vessels in a baby’s eyes.

Before singing a note, the crowd members were on their feet cheering on and supporting the teenager.

After checking the microphone and receiving encouraging support from the Fenway crowd, Duffley started singing – and blew everyone away.
