Tragedy: Adele has broken down in tears on stage as she dedicated her latest show to the victims of the Orlando shooting at a gay nightclub

Back in March, Adele dedicated a performance in London to the victims of a terrorist attack in Brussels airport, which saw 34 people killed and 250 injured, and urged her fans to sing for those affected by the tragedy.

Speaking on stage at the time, she said: 'We're all here for the same reason. I'm hoping you've all come to be entertained by me. I'm here to entertain you, so we're all united, so that makes us much better than them f***ers. You're on, you f***ers.

'This is Make You Feel My Love and this is for Brussels tonight. I want you to all sing it with me, alright, so they hear us.'

Powerful: The 27-year-old singer said she felt 'really moved' by the tragedy after opening her Antwerp gig on Sunday evening

After finishing the track, she was clearly moved and said: 'I don't think I've ever actually been so moved before in my life at one of my shows, that was just so beautiful.

'Thank you very much for doing that... I think they heard us.'

Model-and-actress Cara Delevingne was in the audience for the show and admitted the poignant tribute had made her cry.

She posted on Instagram: 'I cried... a lot and laughed even more! A truly beautiful and inspiring show thank you @adele for being you! (sic)'.
