The singer told the audience that she owed her career to Winehouse and her music. According to an [_MTV_ report](http://www.mtv.com/news/2932727/adele-amy-winehouse-tribute-33rd-birthday/), Adele said, “I feel like I owe 90 percent of my career to \[Winehouse\]. 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.” The 10-time Grammy winner then expressed her sadness for Winehouse’s untimely death. “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 then performed a touching cover of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love,” which you can listen to [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEtZuzCrtrs). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4497179/adele-amy-winehouse-tribute/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4497179/adele-amy-winehouse-tribute/"},"headline":"Watch Adele Sing a Touching Tribute to Amy Winehouse","datePublished":"2016-09-16T16:17:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:41.183Z","description":"On what would have been the late singer's 33rd birthday","url":"https://time.com/4497179/adele-amy-winehouse-tribute/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","celebrity","Culture","Adele"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteafad8cb7af1ce1c/6988a66e0b72e31c106eb07e/adele-amy-winehouse-tribute.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteafad8cb7af1ce1c/6988a66e0b72e31c106eb07e/adele-amy-winehouse-tribute.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Adele Live 2016 - North American Tour In Los Angeles, CA","caption":"Adele Live 2016 - North American Tour In Los Angeles, CA","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images for BT PR","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4497179/adele-amy-winehouse-tribute/","name":"Watch Adele Sing a Touching Tribute to Amy Winehouse"}}]}] ```
