adminMore than four years since she last went on the road, the queen of heartache opened her UK tour with a first-ever arena show that confirmed her current supremacy in global pop.
Overcoming any first-night nerves in Belfast, Adele delivered a commanding but reassuringly old-fashioned show that delighted her fans.
She was obviously happy to be back, although she admitted to having suffered a severe bout of butterflies in the stomach before show-time, having been used to much smaller venues. She admitted to having woken up with a croaky voice that she likened to that of Arnold Schwarzenegger: “I thought I was going to die when I came on stage,” she said. “But I could get used to this.”
The show began, inevitably, with comeback single Hello. With plangent piano chords behind her, the singer, dressed in a flowing, sparkly gown, emerged onto a small stage in the middle of the arena. —Dailymail.
