The Easy On Me hitmaker grew emotional as she walked through the crowd at her residency show in Las Vegas on January 27.
And after seeing the picture up close, Adele tried to get on with her performance of Someone Like You before struggling to hold back tears as she dedicated the tear-jerking ballad to the man.
She said: “Walking through the crowd I wish you could see what I can see. Because I know I talk to a few people every night, but then I just see little stories of people happening.
“There was a man, he’s just there holding up his phone. I think that’s his wife on the phone and I don’t think she’s here and I was just really moved.
“I’m so sorry for your loss and I didn’t realize what you showed me until I got over here.
“I see these little pockets of people’s lives as I go through and it’s so beautiful.”

In December, Adele told the crowd she was doing therapy “five times a day” when she split from her husband.
The “Hello” hitmaker, whose marriage to Simon Konecki ended in 2019, told fans she’s going back to a counselor because she’s “stopped holding.” [herself] accountable” and wanted to be on top form for her residency.
She said: “I’ve started therapy again because I’ve been without it for a couple of years. I had to start. Before, when I was going through my divorce, I was basically having five therapy sessions a day.
“But I stopped blaming myself for my own behavior and the things I would say. But now I’m doing it because I just want to make sure I recharge every week to make sure I can give you everything.
