Music is moving. 

Celebrities try to be tough, but when life is spiraling out of control and the music is right, sometimes celebs let it all go on stage. 

Kelly Rowland made headlines over the weekend when she broke down on stage while performing her controversial single “Dirty Laundry.” 

Kelly’s not first, nor will she be the last celebrity to have an emotional moment on stage.

Remember when Chris Brown cried during his Michael Jackson tribute at the 2010 BET Awards? 

Or what about the time Adele cried when an arena full of adoring fans sang “Someone Like You” to her while she stood silently? 

Fans also can’t forget the tough time Kanye was having, performing only weeks after his mother tragically died.
