Adele pays tribute to Prince at Minnesota gig

London: Adele showed her respect for the late music legend Prince by screening his music video at her concert in his hometown of Minnesota.

The "Hello" hitmaker was performing the opening night of the North American leg of her 'Adele Live Tour 2016' at the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul, and projected the late music icon's 1994 music video for "The Most Beautiful Girl In the World" on a screen.

However, those expecting the 28-year-old songstress - who has a three-year-old son, Angelo, with long-term partner Simon Konecki - to perform a cover of a Prince track would have been disappointed, as she didn't feel worthy enough to do a rendition of one of his songs.

"I did maybe consider covering a song... It's Prince," she said.

The "Purple Rain" hitmaker tragically passed away in April at the age of 57, at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota. P
