Justin Timberlake fulfills young cancer patients' wish with children's hospital visit

With sunshine in his pocket, Justin Timberlake made dreams come true for one deserving group of children. On Friday afternoon, the superstar musician took a break from his "Man of the Woods" tour to visit a lovable group of cancer patients, nurses and families at the Methodist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.

Earlier this week, Timberlake fans at the hospital posted a video dancing to his song “Can't Stop the Feeling," campaigning for the star to come see them ahead of his Saturday concert at the AT&T Center. Unbeknownst to the spirited young patients, Timberlake caught wind of the now viral video online and stopped by around 3 p.m.

According to Annabella Lugosi, a mother who’s been taking 4-year-old son Jackson to the Methodist hospital for cancer treatment since he was 3 months old, the singer “took time with each individual child in his or her own room.”

“He was so humble, and you could really tell that this wasn’t for publicity or anything like that," Lugosi told TODAY. "He genuinely wanted to be a bright spot in these kids’ lives for a day."
