Image caption, Adele's residency in Las Vegas runs until November

An Adele fan has thanked the star for "standing up for me" after she paused a concert on Saturday when she saw a security guard telling him to sit down.

The singer was playing as part of her Las Vegas residency but stopped while performing Water Under the Bridge.

The male audience member was singing along enthusiastically when another fan sitting behind him and a security guard told him he was blocking the view.

Adele spotted that and paused the song, telling the guard to "leave him alone".

The fan used a selfie stick to record the interaction, which he later posted on TikTok.

The video opened with him standing up and singing along to I Drink Wine before a woman told him: "Look behind you, everybody's upset."

'What's going on with him?'

The fan then sat down, but when the song concluded, Adele told the crowd: "You can stand up."

Other audience members also began to stand, but the fan, excited to have apparently been referenced by Adele, started screaming and jumping up and down as the singer began Water Under The Bridge.

A staff member then approached the fan, who assured him he would "stay calm".

Halting the song, Adele said: "What's going on with that young fan there? He's been bothered so much since I came on for standing up. What's going on with him?"

She told the staff: "Why are you bothering him, can you leave him alone please?"

She then told the fan: "They won't bother you... you enjoy the show."

A security guard told him: "You don't have to sit down, you're fine, stay right here."

'No time for them haters'

The singer then asked her band to "start again", and told the audience: "Sorry guys, he's been bothered the whole show by security about people sitting behind him, he's here to have fun, all of you are here to have fun."

Afterwards, he wrote on TikTok: "Adele thank you so much for this breathtaking night and for standing up for me, so that I could live your concert as it should be.

"I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that I was in the same room as ADELE, sang every song with her, and she even stopped the show to defend me.

"I did not expected [sic] everyone in my section to be mad at me for having the time of my life and wanting to stand up and sing with her, but I honestly did not care at all about what anyone was saying to me.

"I just was in awe with the masterpiece I was watching with my own eyes. I did not have time for them haters."

Adele, best known for hits such as Rolling In The Deep, Hello, Someone Like You and Easy On Me, is set to continue her Las Vegas shows until November.

Topline

In an unprecedented move, the NFL canceled the Buffalo Bills game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which was called off in the first quarter of play on Monday when safety Damar Hamlin suffered a harrowing cardiac arrest on the field, as the 24-year-old player makes "remarkable progress" but remains in a Cincinnati ICU.

Key Facts

In a statement posted Thursday night, the NFL also announced it would postpone the start of the playoffs, which were scheduled to start next week, by one week.

Hamlin, a second-year defensive safety, has "demonstrated that he appears to be neurologically intact," the Bills team Twitter account posted on Thursday, as his lungs "continue to heal and he is making steady progress."

As of Thursday morning, Hamlin is "doing better, awake and showing more signs of improvement," according to his teammate Kaiir Elam, although he remains "critically ill" in a Cincinnati ICU, doctors confirmed on Thursday.

Speaking in a press conference, University of Cincinnati Medical Center Dr. Timothy Pritts said Hamlin was able to communicate to medical personnel in writing, asking if the Bills won the game, to which they responded, "you won the game of life."

Indianapolis Colts safety Rodney Thomas II, a former high school teammate of Hamlin, said he visited him at the hospital, telling reporters, "I know he could hear me" and that he believes Hamlin "will walk out of that room."

University of Cincinnati doctors said the next step before Hamlin can be discharged is for him to breathe on his own, adding he is able to move his hands and feet, and that the best outcome is for him to return to "who he was before this all happened."

Key Background

Hamlin likely suffered commotio cordis-caused by a sudden impact to the chest wall that can induce life-threatening cardiac arrest or arrhythmia-on the field during the Bills game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday after making a routine tackle on Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. After making the tackle, Hamlin stood up, but quickly collapsed onto the field, requiring CPR for several minutes as medical personnel from both teams used a defibrillator to restore his pulse. He was resuscitated shortly after on the field and taken to a local ICU.

Tangent

The NFL stopped play several minutes after Hamlin collapsed on the field in the first quarter of the game Monday night. One day after the game, the NFL Players Association issued a statement, saying the "only thing that matters at this moment is Damar's health and well being," while the NFL announced the game would not be made up this week, and that there is no decision on whether it will be resumed at a later date. The Bills are scheduled to play the New England Patriots at home on Sunday, the last week of the regular season, although NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent is reportedly considering moving that game, as well. According to the NFL's statement on Thursday, the AFC Championship Game could be played at a neutral site, eliminating home field advantage for the team with the better record, if the two teams involved played an unequal number of games during the regular season, following the cancelation of the Bills-Bengals game.
