Adele Tears Up While Dedicating Concert to Orlando Shooting Victims (Video)

“The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soulmates since I was really young, so I’m very moved by it,” the singer says

Adele dedicated her entire concert in Antwerp, Belgium on Sunday night to the victims of the Orlando shooting.

“I would like to start by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night,” Adele told the crowd. “The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soulmates since I was really young, so I’m very moved by it.”

Adele teared up while paying tribute to the 49 people killed at Pulse nightclub by 29-year-old American-born Omar Mateen. The massacre, which left at least 53 others injured, is the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

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