Adele may be a master of eliciting tears from audiences through her soulful music, but the 15-time Grammy winner found it difficult to keep her own emotions in check after a recent fan exchange.

Footage from one of the singers Weekends With Adele residency performances in Las Vegas last week shows her singing the 2015 ballad When We Were Young while walking through the crowd. At the end of the song, she returns to the stage and sends her love and condolences to a concertgoer who had apparently experienced a recent loss.

I know I talk to a few people every night, but then I just see little stories of people happening, says Adele, becoming visibly emotional. There was a man. Hes just there can you see him holding his phone up? I think thats his wife on his phone, and I dont think shes here. And it just really moved me.

Speaking to the fan directly, she adds: It looks like youre here on your own, and Im so sorry. Im so sorry for your loss, and Im so sorry I didnt realize what you were showing me until I was already over there. ... I see these little pockets of peoples lives when I walk through, and its so beautiful.

After a 10-month delay, Adele kicked off her Vegas residency in November to rave reviews . The show reportedly includes goose bump-inducing renditions of Set Fire to the Rain and Easy on Me, among other hits.

In recent weeks, however, Adeles been generating as much buzz for her off-the-cuff and, at times, brutally honest stage banter as she has for her music.

According to People , she told fans at a December concert that shed recently returned to therapy after several years.

When I was going through my divorce, I was like, basically in like five therapy sessions a day, said Adele, referring to her 2019 split from Simon Konecki. But I stopped holding myself accountable for my own behavior and the things I would say and its because I would always fall back on my therapist. ... Now I am doing it because I just want to make sure Im topping myself up every week to make sure I can give you everything.
