Adele made boyfriend Rich Paul [2]'s recent birthday a special one. During a concert at her "Weekends With Adele" residency [3] in Las Vegas on 16 Dec., the "I Drink Wine" [4] singer paused her set to sing "Happy Birthday" to the sports agent, who celebrated his 41st birthday that same day. Clips captured by excited concertgoers offered a look at the sweet moment.
"I love you more than life itself. We wish you happy birthday," Adele said, before launching into a soulful rendition of the classic tune with help from the crowd. Considering the artist's powerhouse vocals [5], her take was as beautiful a performance as you could imagine. While Adele's journey to performing her Vegas shows has been a long, difficult one, she's back and better than ever on stage.
This isn't the first time Adele has gone off course during a performance. At a recent concert on 27 Nov., Adele took a fan by surprise when she walked through the crowd and leaned in to smile for one fan's camera before noticing her appearance was altered by a filter [6]. "What's your name, why are you using filters like that?" she asked, kindly adding, "We don't look like that, darling."
Since going public with their relationship [7] in July 2021, Adele and Paul have continued to express their love for one another, even sparking engagement rumours [8]. "I've never been in love like this. I'm obsessed with him," she said during an interview with Elle [9] in August 2022.
