Adele Gives Tearful 'Fastlove' Performance For George Michael Tribute at GRAMMYs 2017: Watch
Adele gave a beautiful tribute performance to George Michael at the 2017 GRAMMYs tonight as she sung a slower rendition of "Fastlove." The late icon passed away on Dec. 25, 2016 at the age of 53. Adele's emotions got the best of her during the first round of the performance, as she told the backing orchestra to stop the music so she could start over again. "I can't mess this up for him," the artist said after apologizing for cursing on live TV.
But once the song kicked up again, Adele gave it her all while draped in black velvet. Images of the legendary Michael were shown on the screen, which gave the performance even more of a somber tone. "Fastlove" was first released in 1996 as a single from Michael's third studio album Older. Earlier in the ceremony, Adele took home two GRAMMY awards: Best Pop Vocal Album for 25 and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Hello."
