Adele brought her Munich concert to a standstill on Saturday, August 3, to cheer on the world’s top athletes at the 2024 Olympics.
The Grammy-winning singer, known for her powerful voice and captivating stage presence, paused her show to watch the women’s 100-meter final live from Paris.
In a heartwarming moment captured on social media, Adele walked offstage, and the jumbotron switched from her performance to the thrilling track race.
The crowd eagerly watched alongside her as the athletes vied for gold.
As Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia crossed the finish line first with a time of 10.72, followed closely by Team USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson,
Adele cheered and asked the audience to join her in applauding the winner. “Let’s give her a round of applause, Fantastic, St. Lucia!” she exclaimed, before getting back to her performance.
The night before, Adele had shared her hilarious take on watching the Olympics, joking that she’d be a harsh critic of the athletes’ techniques – until she remembered she’d never survive attempting their feats herself!
She playfully admitted, “I’d absolutely die if I tried to do any kind of movement at all.”
Adele also praised gymnast Simone Biles for her gold-winning performance, calling her “absolutely brilliant.””
The ‘Hello’ singer will serenade audiences in Munich with a series of concerts at the open-air Munich Messe venue, which boasts a staggering 80,000 seats, through August 31.
This marks her first performance in mainland Europe since 2016, making it a highly anticipated event.
In a statement on her website, Adele shared her excitement about the opportunity, saying, “I was too curious to pass up the chance to create a one-off, bespoke pop-up stadium show in the heart of Europe – Munich, to be exact!”
She expressed her enthusiasm for the timing, coinciding with the Euros and the Olympics, cheering on England and Simone Biles.
