Adele breaks down in tears over tribute to late fan’s wife at Las Vegas show

Adele broke down in tears after seeing a man desperately trying to show the singer a photo of his late wife on his phone at his Las Vegas show.

The singer, 34, was emotional when she saw the concertgoer hold up the phone above the crowd and touch her heart as she walked through the audience at her residency show at The Colosseum At Caesars Palace on Jan. 27.

And after seeing the image up close, Adele tried to continue her rendition of Someone Like You, before fighting back tears as she dedicated the ballad to the man.

She began: ‘When I walk through the crowd, I wish you could see what I can see. Because I know I talk to a few people every night, but then I just see little stories of people happening.

The overwhelmed singer continued: “There was a man, he was just there, holding his phone.” I think she’s his wife on the phone, and I don’t think she’s here, and he really touched me.

‘I’m so sorry for your loss, and I didn’t realize what you were showing me until I got here.’

The 34-year-old singer was moved when she saw the concertgoer hold up the phone above the crowd and touch her heart as she walked through the audience.

She added: “I see these little pockets of people’s lives as I walk and it’s so beautiful.”

In December, Adele told the crowd that she had therapy “five times a day” when she split from her husband.

The Hello hitmaker, whose marriage to Simon Konecki ended in 2019, told fans she’s seeing counseling again because she stopped ‘holding [herself] responsible’ and wanted to be in top shape for his residence having previously discovered that having an outlet to work through his feelings during the difficulties of his relationship was extremely beneficial.

Speaking onstage at her Weekends with Adele show, she said: “I started therapy again because I went a few years without it.” She needed to start.

“Before, obviously, when I was going through my divorce, I basically had five therapy sessions a day.

Through tears: ‘There was a man, he’s just there, holding his phone. I think it’s his wife who’s on the phone, and I don’t think he’s here, and he really touched me,” Adele said.

‘But I stopped taking responsibility for my own behavior and the things I said.

“But now I’m doing it because I just want to make sure I recharge every week to make sure I can give you my all.”

The star admitted to performing ‘live fillers’ [her] with dread’ and, although she doesn’t like to tour much, she is delighted with the setup of the residence.

She broke down in tears as she added: ‘And my whole therapy session this week was really interesting. It was about these shows.

‘I always get so excited. I love making music, but there’s something about playing live that really terrifies me and fills me with dread.

‘That’s why I’m not much of a traveling artist. I did it last time to show that I could do it.

“But this experience of being in a room this size, I think I could be a living artist for the rest of my life.”

The Easy On Me singer, who has 10-year-old son Angelo with Simon and is now in a relationship with sports agent Rich Paul, canceled her January residency just days before opening night and admitted she did so because she is a perfectionist. .
