The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes Reaches Out to Sister of Newtown School Shooting Survivor
The Wanted may have reputations for being bad boys, but they’re definitely softies — at least Nathan Sykes. The ‘I Found You’ singer reached out the sister of a slain teacher from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and made her darkest hours a little bit brighter.
Sykes reached out to Carlee Soto, sister of Victoria Soto, a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, C.T. who hid her students in a closet and stood between them and the shooter, Adam Lanza — effectively sacrificing her own life to save theirs.
ABC News reports that via Twitter, Sykes invited Carlee, a huge fan of the Wanted, to come see them. ”Sending all my love to @ICarlee23 for your birthday! You, Vicki and your family are such an inspiration. Hope you have a lovely day 
xx.” He added, ”Next time we are in NYC I have arranged for you to come and hang out with us if you are up for that? Would be lovely to see ya xx.”
A flustered and ecstatic Carlee replied, ”I think I just died A little reading this tweet. I would love to meet you whenever your [sic] in NY. Thank you so much.” Nathan responded, “awesome! Will be in touch and let ya know when we are next in NYC much love xx.”
If you didn’t love the Wanted before, we bet you do now. This warmed our hearts!
