Celebs tweeted their support for Adele after the British
singer had to restart her George Michael tribute on the Grammys stage on Sunday
night.
Adele stopped her version of “Fastlove,” one of
George’s hits, before the chorus during the live broadcast on CBS.
“I know it’s live TV,” she said, her subsequent remarks cut out of the live broadcast.

“I can’t do it again like last year. I’m sorry for swearing and I’m sorry for starting again. Can we please start it again? I’m sorry. I can’t mess this up for him,” she said.
Backed by an orchestra, Adele kicked the song off again and nailed it.
