Adele, one of the world’s most favorite singers, is undoubtedly the moon and the stars for her fans. Her lyrics are so profound and touching that you’ll ruminate on them for hours or even days. She is one of the world’s most famous singers, with over 51 million Instagram followers.
A shocking incident occurred during her recent Las Vegas residency performance, forcing the show to come to a more heartfelt stop. As she began through the crowd, Adele noticed an elderly gentleman holding up his late spouse’s photograph. The photograph soon captured Adele’s heart, and she had no choice but to stop the concert and start sobbing.
“When I walk through the crowd, I wish you could see what I can see”, Adele said, “Because I know I talk to a few people every night, but then I just see little stories of people happening. There was a man; he was just there, holding his phone up. I think that’s his wife on the phone, and I don’t think she’s here, and it just really moved me. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I didn’t realize what you were showing me until I was over here”, the singer said while sobbing excessively and implying that the man’s wife had passed away.
The depth of Adele’s emotion is also evidenced by the fact that, in turn, she dedicated her song “Someone Like You” to the man. This moment was recorded and published on TikTok, where the singer says: “This is for you, sir, who’s showing me his wife.”
