Singer Adele shed tears as she addressed the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida and dedicated her concert here to the victims of the tragedy.

The Orlando shooting killed 50 people, making it the deadliest mass shooting in US history and the worst act of terrorism since 2001's 9/11.

"I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and Pulse nightclub," the "Hello" hitmaker said during the concert, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"The LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) community... They are like my soulmates since I was really young," she added, before starting to cry in front of the crowd.
