Arthur captioned the heartfelt post: "Happy Birthday, Maman Cherie! Today, we celebrate your 76th birthday. I wanted to create something special instead of a picture or a regular video.

"I asked you to try the opera section from Queen B’s Daughter song, and you listened three times, making this one take. I’m beyond happy I captured this moment.

"Your love, kindness, and strength inspire me every day. Thank you for all the moments we’ve shared and the endless support you’ve given. I’m so grateful to have you in my life, and I seriously cherish every minute.

"I wish you a day as beautiful and amazing as you are."
