Adele‘s chops are undoubtedly otherworldly but sometimes even the best falter. The Grammy-winning artist brought a moment of humility to this year’s Grammy Awards, abruptly bringing to a halt her tribute to the late George Michael mid-way through the song.
Having started a stripped-back rendition of Michael’s 1996 song ‘Fastlove’, Adele stopped singing and asked the band to stop and start over. “I’m sorry, I can’t mess this up for him,” Adele told the cheering audience. “I’m sorry for swearing. I’m sorry for starting again. I know it’s live TV.”
As expected, Adele recovered from the stumble, presenting a moving tribute to the late music icon who died on Christmas day last year. Adele also performed her hit single ‘Hello’ to kick off this year’s Grammys ceremony.
