Adele was left in floods of tears during a performance as part of her Las Vegas residency this week.
Weekends With Adele at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace opened back in November and will run until 25 March, after a delay meant the shows - originally scheduled to run between January and April last year - were postponed.
In one show this week, Adele became emotional after seeing something in the crowd.
During a performance of 'When We Were Young', a man could be seen holding up his phone, which showed a photo of what appeared to be his wife.
While it initially seemed Adele hadn't spotted the touching moment, during a performance of 'Someone Like You' later in the show, she said: “This is for you, sir, who’s showing me his wife on his phone.”

She added: “When I walk through the crowd, I wish you could see what I could see. Because I know I talk to a few people every night, but then I just see little stories of people happening.
“And there was a man. He’s just there, can you see him holding his phone up? I think that’s his wife on his phone and I don’t think she’s here and it just really moved me."
Adele continued: “It looks like you’re here on your own. And I’m so, so sorry. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m so sorry I didn’t realise what you were showing me until I was already over there.
“Sorry, but it’s like I see these little pockets of people’s lives when I walk through and it’s so beautiful.”
Fans were moved by the moment, with many taking to a TikTok video of the performance to discuss.
One person wrote: "Crying bc he looked so content even if Adele didn’t notice, like he was happy knowing his wife would’ve loved just seeing what he’s seeing."
While another said: "He wasn’t even doing it for Adele’s attention. He genuinely looked happy holding his wife up & enjoying the moment as if she was there, my heart."
And a third added: "Adele soul is just so pure. What an amazing human, she is!"
Meanwhile a fourth commented: "That man deserves the world and Adele must be protected at all times."
This one definitely hit us in the feels!
