Grammy winning-singer Adele stopped her concert midway after a fan collapsed due to a cardiac arrest.

Adele was performing in Sydney on Friday night.

She had to halt the performance when a 47-year-old woman suffered a heart attack and emergency services were called.

More than 95,000 fans had made their way to the ANZ stadium and had to clear a path to allow paramedics to get to the ailing woman, who was then taken to a hospital.

Adele seemed upset about what had happened.

An eyewitness said that she was sitting in the next row from the woman.

“She [Adele] stopped the concert and she was like, ‘I’m so sorry, but someone got hurt and I have to check they’re okay. She actually seemed really tearful,” the source said.
