7 Times Idols Shed Tears Of Gratitude For Their Fans

Over the course of their careers, idols maintain an unbreakable bond with their fans. From their very first stage to their first anniversary, and up to every other significant memory in-between, they share a handful of heartfelt moments that further prove the strength of their everlasting relationship.

Amidst some of these moments, idols are so thankful for the love and support they keep receiving from their fans that they can’t help but burst into tears either during a concert, a music show win, or a fan event. That being said, here are seven times fans made idols shed tears of gratitude.
