Little fella battled hiccups to finish singing national anthem

A young Australian boy is being praised for his valiant effort, powering through the national anthem despite suffering from hiccups.



Ethan Hall, a 7-year-old from Adelaide, performed Advance Australia Fair before an Australian Baseball League game on Saturday.



But he could barely get a start, hiccupping during the first verse and continuing throughout the rest of the anthem.

He bravely continued singing, to smiles and sniggers from the players, hands on hearts, who smiled on as he made his way through the verses. Ethan finished the song and received a round of applause and even high-fives from some of the players.
