Adele famously hugged George Michael as he handed her the Brit Award for Best Album back in 2012.
She later performed a tribute at the Grammy Awards in 2017 a few months after his death, however she was so heartbroken when starting to sing a stripped-back version of 'Fastlove'.
She said on stage: "I'm sorry for swearing and I'm sorry for starting again. I can't mess this up for him. I'm sorry, I can't."

The British singer is currently working on her long-awaited follow-up album to 25, with fans hoping it will be released at some point this year.
