The 11-second video features more than a dozen nurses singing to Kingston’s sister.

“When you get BackStreet Boy’s tickets for Christmas and some unfortunate situations happen… bring a surprise BSB concert to your sick sister! The nurses here are awesome if you can’t tell,” said Kingston about the occasion.”

The viral video even made its way to Backstreet Boy star Nick Carter.

“We missed you last night Amanda! Looks (and sounds) like you have a great team helping you get better. We’re thinking of you and sending you love,” carter wrote on Twitter.
