Adele overcame her nerves at the weekend when she performed to thousands of festival-goers on the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury music festival.

The Skyfall singer has previously explained that she is scared by the size of the crowds at Glastonbury, so it was a surprise for many fans when she announced that she had agreed to the Saturday headline slot.
Hardly anyone cared, however, as she ended her set with Someone Like You before proclaiming “I did it” as she walked from the stage with the crowd still ringing out the hit below her.
She told the crowd: “Oh my God, this is the best moment of my life”.
“Glastonbury means the world to me, I’m not even lying”, Adele said mid-way through her set. I’m out of breath, I’m not used to all that dancing!’ she said, before cheekily adding: ‘Also an excuse to wipe my sweaty top lip’.
She kept thanking the crowd for watching and said thanks to Michael Eavis for having her here.
Rita Ora may have spent her first day at Glastonbury Festival in fishnet tights, a T-shirt and high-heeled wellies, but she has now chose to wrap up warm.
Adele’s concerts have become nearly as known for her interaction with fans, as for her music.
“Last year I had to cancel Glastonbury”, an emotional Jess told the crowd on Friday (24Jun16).
“It’s like when a black woman comes up to me and says: ‘Girl, the fact that you got your natural hair out, it’s incredible.’ I’m like, that’s great but it’s also not at all revolutionary, it shouldn’t be in 2016”.
However, one of the things that the singer has been criticized for her is her language, the singer has a lovely singing voice but a very opposite speaking voice.
The star-stuck woman could barely speak or hold her phone long enough to take a selfie, making Adele step in.
However, she has since changed her mind and hit back at those who dubbed her too “boring” to headline the music extravaganza. “They were fantastic, weren’t they?”
Adele also joked about her “potty mouth” and that BBC executives to had to issue a warning about her expected swearing before the live TV broadcast.
“You’re f**** em *Rumour Has It”.
