What would you do if you had the hiccups moments before singing in front of thousands of people?

Seven-year-old Ethan Hall from Australia just sucked it up and got on with it.

The youngster was given the privilege of singing the Aussie national anthem before a match between the Brisbane Bandits and Adelaide Bite in the Australian Baseball League on Friday.

Watch it here:

After a couple of lines of ‘Advance Australia Fair’, it was clear the Hallmark Music Studio pupil was struggling.

But not only did he finish the song, he received a huge ovation and several high-fives from the amused players.

A member of the commentary team at the event summed it up perfectly.

“The old adage is the show must go on, what a lot of courage from the youngster,” he said.

“He could have completely fallen apart.”
