Tyla Atkin was left in a deep unconscious state after an horrific car crash, but when her mum Michelle Hart heard Jessie J, Tyla’s favourite singer, was visiting the same hospital, she pleaded with the Price Tag star to sing to her little girl in the hope it might make her come around. Jessie sat with Tyla for 30 minutes and sang. In just a few hours, Tyla began to wake up.
