  Adele, who is one of the biggest fans of the late singer Amy Winehouse paid a musical tribute during her sold-out concert in Boston according to MTV.

  ‘Hello’ singer Adele dedicated a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Make You Feel My Love’ to Winehouse, as the crowd held up their glowing phones in tribute.

  “I feel like I owe 90 percent of my career to [Winehouse],” Adele said. “Because of her, I picked up a guitar and because of her, I wrote my own songs. The songs I got signed on were the songs that I wrote completely on my own – if it wasn’t for her, that wouldn’t have happened.

  “I used to see her on TV or in magazine shoots with a pink electric guitar and I used to think she was the coolest motherfucker on the face of the Earth,” she continued, adding, “I’m obviously completely happy with all the music that she left behind because it’s all genius. But every day I wish I could hear a new song from her.”

  Adele had also paid tribute to the late singer on Twitter and Instagram by posting a smiley photo Amy Winehouse and writing, “Happy Birthday Amy X.”

  Amy Winehouse died in 2011 at the age if 27 from alcohol poisoning.
