Adele swears and restartes her tribute to George Michael live at the Grammy awards because she of sound problems.

It was a big night for the British superstar who took home a total of 5 Grammys.

The All I Ask singer wanted her tribute to the late George Michael to be perfect. When her slowed down version of Fastlove started to go wrong, she cursed on live TV, in true Adele fashion and demanded to start over.

“I’m sorry for swearing and and I’m sorry for starting again,” Adele said. “I can’t mess this up for him. I’m sorry, I can’t”. The crowd, however, were not disheartened.

Despite the slight slip-up, by the end of the emotional performance, she received a standing ovation.

After the tribute, the stars came out to congratulate Adele on her “real” performance of the George Michael song:
