Adam Lambert is one of America’s most popular singers and on Wednesday, he paid tribute to superstar Cher. The Emmy, Grammy, and Oscar-winner was one of the Kennedy Center Honors recipients this year. Lambert sang the song “Believe” and not only drove Cher to tears in appreciation but also received a standing ovation. The 41st Kennedy Center Honors aired on CBS, Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2018. The video of Adam Lambert singing “Believe” has gone viral.

It was Adam Lambert’s heartwrenching spin on the song that has made it go viral. Every time Lambert sang the line, “Do you believe in life after love?” it was as if he was asking the question while speaking from a well of loneliness and pain. It was clear to see that Cher wasn’t the only one who felt deep emotions rise.
