Christmas came early for one young U2 fan, as he received the best gift ever from his idol. 

Last weekend the guitarist appeared on RTÉ’s  to deliver the festive gift. 

The young fan is 10-year old musician Noah Rafferty and he has big dreams of being “the world’s greatest rockstar” and he appeared on the show to perform a cover of  plus his own song .

If that wasn't enough, he was then treated to a video message from The Edge telling Noah that he was giving him a Les Paul guitar. 

Understandably, Noah was beside himself with excitement at the unexpected present. 

Watch the moment he was told the news below.

The Late Late Toy Show has 

raised over €5 million (and counting) for children and families in need.

If that wasn't enough, the guitar was also created by the Edge in aid of the charity Music Rising, which seeks to provide musical instruments in the wake of disasters.
