Adele broke down in tears as she dedicated a concert to the victims of the mass shooting in Florida.
The Hello! singer was on stage in Antwerp, Belgium on Sunday, hours after the shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando left 50 dead and 53 wounded.
She struggled to contain her emotion as she told the crowd of her affinity with the LGBTQI community.

“I’d like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando, and at Pulse nightclub last night,” she said.
“The LGBTQI community… they’re like my soulmates, since I was really young, so I’m really moved by it.”

Adele, 28, went on: “I don’t know why I’m crying already because most of this tonight is pretty miserable because my songs are f***ing miserable.
“I do have two songs that sound happy, but they’re not.”
