Adele fans may not have been able to hear their idol sing last night in London's Wembley Stadium, but that doesn't mean that they can't enjoy her songs.
Disappointed ticket holders for her final dates at Wembley took matters into their own hands when they heard that the superstar had to cancel her shows due to damaged vocal chords and arranged a sing-song in her honour.

Using #SingForAdele, her fans, who call themselves the Daydreamers, organised to meet up outside the concert venue at the time that they should have been hearing the Hello hitmaker sing, and give their own rendition of her tracks.
The call, which went out on social media, for fans to come and sing said: "Adele can't sing for us but we can sing for her."
People tweeted that they found the gesture touching.

Those who gathered at the event shared clips of the sing-a-long.
Adele had tweeted a lengthy apology to her fans for having to cancel the shows, calling them the "biggest and best" of her life.
The 29-year-old singer had already performed two nights to crowds of around 98,000 fans on Wednesday and Thursday night.

She said: "To say I'm heartbroken would be an understatement.
"The last two nights at Wembley have been the biggest and best shows of my life. To come home to such a response after so long away doing something I never thought I could pull off but did has blown me away.
"However, I've struggled vocally on both nights. I had to push a lot harder than I normally do."
Adele said she went to see a throat doctor on Friday night, who advised her not to perform over the weekend.
The singer said she would not take the decision lightly, adding: "To not complete this milestone in my career is something I'm struggling to get my head around and I wish that I wasn't having to write this.
"It's something I'm really struggling to come to terms with. It's as if my whole career has been building up to these four shows."
Adele said refunds would be available to fans if the hometown shows cannot be rescheduled, signing off with: "I'm sorry, I'm devastated.
"I'm sorry. I love you. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me x."
There were mixed reactions to the news from fans.
