Adele doesn’t want homophobic fans at her Las Vegas residency.
The 36-year-old singer was shocked by a heckler during a recent concert. âDid you just say, ‘Pride sucks?’â she asked the supposed fan in one fan-recorded video of the exchange. Upon confirmation, Adele continued, âDid you come to my fucking show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you fucking stupid? Donât be so fucking ridiculous.”
For good measure, she added, âIf you got nothing nice to say, shut up, all right?â You can watch the entire video here.
Ever the professional, Adele smoothly transitioned into the rest of her crowd work by guessing that the heckler may be one of the husbands âdragged alongâ to the show by her true fans. Addressing that entire demographic, she swore to deliver a good show. âYou will thank me later,â she told the husbands in attendance. âI’m really gonna turn your wives on tonight and you’ll end up getting laid when you get back to the hotel, I promise you.â (Probably not that heckler, though.)
She continued, âI’m gonna make you smile all night, misters, because I’m gonna make you giggle and I’m also going to reflect on things, even if you don’t want to.â
She then went into a story she deemed particularly relevant during Pride Month. Adele said she decided that she and her band should each come up with a âsaucy porn nameâ after learning that her Australian bandmate Van (likely guitarist and musical director Tim Van Der Kuil) used to be called âThunder From Down Under.â You know, like the famed Vegas adult dance show.
âI think I’ve already come up with mine,â she told the audience. âThe reason [his nickname was] âThunder from Down Underâ is because he’s Australian. I’m from Tottenham. So what’s the closest thing that rhymes?”
