Watch Adele get tearful as she dedicates show to Orlando shooting victims

Adele got choked up as she dedicated a recent show to those who were killed in the weekend's Orlando shooting.

At least 49 people were killed by Omar Mateen in the early hours of Sunday (June 12) when he burst into the Pulse gay club and started shooting.

Adele performed in Antwerp, Belgium on the same night and she tearfully dedicated her show to the many victims.

She said: "I'd like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando, and at Pulse nightclub last night.

"The LGBTQIA community... they're like my soulmates, since I was really young, so I'm really moved by it.

"I don't know why I'm crying already, because most of this tonight is pretty miserable because my songs are f**king miserable."

Queen and Adam Lambert meanwhile paid tribute to the victims on Sunday during their headline set at the Isle of Wight festival.
