Adele Breaks Down Performing “Someone Like You” in Munich Concert

During a concert in Munich, Adele emotionally paused before her performance of “Someone Like You,” sharing a heartfelt moment with her audience.

The overwhelming emotions nearly brought her to tears as she prepared to sing. She reflected on the song’s profound impact on her life, stating, “This song changed my life. I wrote it at the lowest I’ve ever been.”

Adele conveyed the deeply personal struggle she faced during that period, expressing how the song emerged from her experiences of loneliness and depression. “I didn’t want to be at home. I would stay up late every night and cry alone often. I didn’t want to see my friends and things like that. I was depressed,” she revealed.

Addressing the young people in the audience, Adele emphasized the transformative power of music, highlighting its ability to comfort and heal regardless of one’s emotional state. “I wish someone would have told me that when I was 21, people would sing this song ‘Someone Like You’ someday. We can sing sad songs when we’re happy, and that’s okay. Or be sad and sing happy songs. That’s the genius of music,” she shared before delivering the song that significantly shaped her career.

Adele’s vulnerability and openness were among the most poignant moments of the evening, reaffirming her status as one of the most influential voices in the music industry.
