Adele dedicates song to a fan who collapsed at concert after cardiac arrest
The fan was taken to hospital shortly after.
Adele has dedicated a song to her fan who suffered a cardiac arrest at her concert in Sydney.
The 47-year-old woman suddenly collapsed at Adele's concert at ANZ Stadium last Friday night, and was taken to hospital by paramedics shortly after. It has not been confirmed whether she has been released yet.
The following night, Adele graciously dedicated her song 'Take It All' to the woman, wishing her 'a speedy recovery'.
Video footage emerged of her saying: "At this point in the show last night, there was a lady, she got really ill down there and I sang this song and with my back to what was going on.
"I knew what was going on but I was really scared and it was at this point I stopped the show to make sure she was OK. I don't know if she's OK yet but I'd like to sing this song for her tonight."
When her fan collapsed on the Friday night, the 'Hello' singer was visibly shaken by the event, calling out: "Sorry, can we stop, I'm sorry... sorry, there's someone not well and I'm worried because there's fireworks and I don't want to scare them."
She went on to apologise to her fans: "Sorry, someone got hurt... sorry I f***ing ruined the surprise for you. Sorry there was so much going on it frightened me, OK let's start again."
Audience member Meg Rylance was sitting near the lady who collapsed, and said that they hadn't really noticed until Adele brought it to their attention.
"She actually seemed really tearful," Meg commented. Others took to social media after the incident.
Adele is currently on tour in Australia and will be returning to the UK to perform at Wembley in June and July.
We wish her fan a speedy recovery 🙏
