Why a familiar face made Adele break down on stage
Adele has broken down during an emotional show in Las Vegas, after she locked eyes with a special audience member.
The British songstress was performing at her residency show with a special Halloween show when she spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
While dressed as Morticia from the Addams Family for the spooky-themed concert, Adele began to perform her hit song When We Were Young from her award-winning album 25.
She suddenly burst into tears and ran into the audience, as she spotted the doctor who delivered her son Angelo ten years ago.
Adele could be seen mouthing “Shut up!” in between lines of the heartbreaking ballad, as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
“Oh my god, Colin! Oh my god! This is my doctor that gave birth to my baby!”
“I haven't seen you for years!” she exclaimed, as she paused the song and ran up into the audience.
As Adele caught up with her long-lost friend, the tune continued playing in the background.
The singer apologised to her fans as she was caught up in the emotional moment.
“Sorry!” she said to the crowd. “Will you sing it for me? That man delivered my baby!”
Fans on Twitter rushed to praise the touching moment and Adele's sweet gesture to the doctor.
One said, “This is so heartwarming,” while another added, “That's just the coolest thing ever!”
