Adele dedicates concert to Orlando nightclub shooting victims, breaks down
At Adele's Antwerp, Belgium, concert Sunday, the 10-time Grammy winner dedicated her entire two hour show to the victims of the deadly shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
The shooting left 50 people, including the gunman, dead, and 53 people injured.
Video of Adele making the declaration was recorded by Michael van Gool, who was attending the concert from the Netherlands.
"I’d like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and Pulse nightclub," Adele told the audience. "The LGBTQA community, they’re like my soulmates since I was really young, so I’m really moved by it."
Today reported that Adele began to cry after making the dedication. The audience erupted in cheers to encourage the singer.
"I don’t know why I’m crying already, because most of tonight is pretty miserable because my songs are (expletive) miserable," she said.
This is not the first time Adele has made dedications to shooting victims. She dedicated her cover of "Make You Feel My Love" to victims of the Brussels terror attacks in March during her show in London, England.
