MANILA, Philippines – After explosions tore through the Belgian capital of Brussels, Adele used her music to express her solidarity. During her March 22 concert at London's O2 Arena, she sang her cover of country singer Bob Dylan's 1997 song, "Make You Feel My Love," as tribute to the victims of the attacks and the citizens of Brussels.
She introduced the song: "This is 'Make You Feel My Love,' and this is for Brussels. So I want you to all sing it with me, all right?"
Adele originally recorded the song for her debut album, 19 (2008).
A fan captured the moment, which had the attendees illuminating the arena with their phone flashlights.
