On Wednesday (September 14), Adele paid tribute to Amy Winehouse at her concert in Boston on what would’ve been the late singer’s 33rd birthday. The “Hello” balladeer dedicated her famous rendition of Bob Dylan‘s “Make You Feel My Love” to Winehouse and also elaborated on how the legendary crooner influenced her music.

“I feel like I owe so much of my career to [Winehouse],” Adele told the crowd. “Her first album, ‘Frank,’ really changed my life…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, “And 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’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 proceeded to give a poignant performance of the Dylan track and also took to Instagram to wish happy birthday to Winehouse, a person and a voice that was taken too soon from us. It breaks my heart every time.
