Your support makes all the difference.Sia was so determined to get to one of her concerts that she ended up on a 13-hour road trip through Australia after her flight was cancelled.
Due to severe weather the pop star was unable to get a flight, so drove with her team all the way from Melbourne to the Allianz Stadium in Sydney.
"I may be five minutes late," the singer tweeted on 2 December. "We couldn't catch a plane due to weather, so drove thirteen hours then blew a tire which has given me crazy diarrhoea. Bear with me guys. I love you."
She later tweeted: "Four minutes from venue. Fully dressed. Ready to go. Bear with me. Massive apologies."
Fans didn't seem to mind too much, and tweeted pictures to their idol as they waited in the rain.
Sia was joined by dancer Maddie Ziegler, and supported by UK pop star Charli XCX.
She recently released her new album Everyday is Christmas, a record comprised entirely of original songs, after realising how there was a "shortage" of good Christmas music.
