Adele has been applauded by social media users after she stopped her show in Las Vegas to defend a fan who was having trouble with security.

The 'Easy On Me' songstress was putting on an incredible show in Sin City, wowing the audience with her powerful vocals and charming them with her witty comments.

However, at one point during her performance of 'Water Under The Bridge,' the 35-year-old singer noticed something wasn’t quite right with a particular concertgoer.

In videos shared on social media, Adele can be heard saying: "Can we stop a minute?", while holding up her hand and asking: "What is going on with that young man there?"

Watch the moment below:

The 'Hello' hitmaker then walked to the edge of the stage and pointed to the fan, stating: "He's been bothered so much since I came on. What’s going on with him?

"Yes, you with your hand up! You, with the stick in your hand! Yes, him!", she directed at the security guard. "What is going on? Why are you bothering him? Can you leave him alone, please?"

The sold-out crowd then cheered as Adele stuck up for the supporter, and she heartwarmingly declared: "They won’t bother you again my darling."

The Grammy-winning star then proceeded to apologize to everyone for temporarily stopping the song by explaining: "He’s been bothered the whole time by security and people sitting behind him. We're here to have fun, all of you are here to have fun."

Upon seeing the video, many users rushed to the comment section to share their admiration for the singer. One person wrote: "You tell them queen!! If people want to sit, feel free to do so, but don’t bother other people because they are standing up and enjoying the show."

Another said: "Adele's heart is as powerful as her voice! Her dedication to her fans is truly admirable. This moment is a testament to her genuine love and care for the people who support her."

A third commented: "The stance, the pointed finger, the long acrylic nails, the updo… perfection."

A fourth shared: "She is amazing loves her fans. She has a heart of gold!!!"

The viral moment comes after Adele told concertgoers during a show that she collapsed backstage after experiencing a sciatica attack - which is a condition that occurs when "irritation, inflammation, pinching or compression affects one or more nerves" that run down your lower back and into your legs, per Cleveland Clinic.

According to The Sun, the 'Rolling in the Deep' singer told fans that her crew members "picked my whole body up off the floor," after suffering from a flare-up at the weekend. She also shared that she was forced to take some time out and leave the stage, admitting: "I am going to sit down and rest my sciatica."

In addition to this, the 'Someone Like You' vocalist said that she had been "bragging" about recovering from the chronic back pain but "then God brought it back."

She also confessed: "I've got two more [songs], I've just got to get over to the other side of the stage. I have to waddle these days because I have really bad sciatica."
