The visit lasts for hours, the singer conversing to all the ailing children. He signs autographs to the children, and one cancer-stricken young girl asks the entertainer what it is like being a superstar, to which he humbly replies: “Hmm… I don’t know.. I really don’t. ‘Cause I don’t remember not performing, so it’s fun to make people happy… It really is.” Another boy tells him his favorite song is the singer’s 1972 “Ben”. When asked by a reporter how the looks on the patients’ faces make him feel, he replies, his hand on his chest: “It touches my heart. I love them very much.”, after which he shakes hands with the boy asking him about “Ben”, then adds, hand on chest again: “It’s heart-touching.” “The Smith Family”, a fund-raising NGO for indigent people, receives a finance portion of the artist’s Australian concerts.
