Despite her busy schedule on her ongoing tour, British singer and songwriter Adele made time to watch the ongoing Paris Olympic Games.
The singer on the 3rd of August 2024 halted her Munich concert to watch the women’s 100-meter final in Paris, as seen in a fan-captured clip posted on the X (formerly Twitter) account for NBC Olympics.
Halting the concert, the ‘Easy On Me’ hitmaker broadcasted the Olympic games for the over 75,000 patrons who were present at the Adele Arena, where her 10-night residency launched on Friday.
The Munich patrons were thrilled with the live broadcast of the Olympics as Saint Lucia’s Jullien Alfred won the medal prize after finishing the race in 10.72 seconds. U.S. stars Sha’carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson won silver and bronze, respectively.
Adele asked her patrons to give Jullien a hand of applause for her unprecedented milestone as her gold medal is Saint Lucia’s first ever at the Olympics.
“Let’s give her a round of applause!” the 16-time Grammy winner said. “Let’s get on with the show. Fantastic, St. Lucia!”
During the opening night of the mini residency on Friday, Adele had the Olympics on her mind.

“… While I was watching world-class athletes, I’d be like, ‘Oh that landing was a bit dodgy, wasn’t it? Oh her legs weren’t really straight,’ Meanwhile, if I tried anything that they do, I’d be dead,” she said in a fan-captured video from the show. “I’d absolutely die if I tried to even do a little, any kind of movement at all”
The singer during the show-stopping concert also gave props to U.S. gymnast Simone Biles for winning multiple gold medals, calling her “absolutely brilliant.”
The British star will be concluding her 10-night show in Munich on the 31st of August. Her Weekends With Adele residency at Las Vegas’ Colosseum at Caesars Palace picks back up in October.
