    ‘You're on, you f***ers.'

    Emotional Adele stopped mid-way through her set at London’s O2 Arena last night, to give her message of support to the victims of yesterday’s terror attacks in Brussels.

    It was the last London date of the pop powerhouse's sell-out tour and fans said that her show of solidarity and slamming of the terrorists was a highlight of the night.

    ‘We're all here for the same reason,' she told the 20,000-strong audience. 'I'm hoping you've all come to be entertained by me. I'm here to entertain you, so we're all united, so that makes us much better than them f***ers.’

    ‘You're on, you f***ers', was her message to the terrorists, who murdered more than 30 people when they bombed an airport and a metro station in the Belgian capital.
