Mariah Carey sobbed throughout her show in Paris on thursday night following the death of her close friend Prince.
The singer, who learnt of his death just hours before hitting the stage, couldn’t contain her emotions while belting out her hits to the packed arena.
Paying her respects, the 46-year-old requested a moment's silence, saying: “Rather than just make everyone bleak we should just take him and honour him because he was a friend to me too.
“He talked me through some times when I really, really needed somebody and he was incredible person if you never did get to meet him.
“I’m sure his music has touched every single person in her so let’s have a moment of silence for Prince if we could, please.”
She then went on to dedicate the song One Sweet Day – as she continued to be overcome with emotion.
One fan, who caught the touching moment on camera, wrote: “Mariah dedicated One Sweet Day to Prince tonight. She's been crying throughout the show.” Alongside a crying face emoji, they added: “The emotion in her voice.”
Her heartbreaking appearance comes just hours after she discovered Prince had died.
Upon hearing the news, she tweeted: “Genius, legend, inspiration, friend. The world will miss you. I'll never get over it.”
