Adele was quick to give it back to a homophobic heckler during her recent show in Las Vegas. A clip of the 'Hello' singer shutting down the concertgoer who shouted homophobic slurs at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace has now gone viral on social media.
At her Las Vegas residency show on Saturday, June 1, i.e. the first day of Pride Month, Adele was seen serenading the audience with some of her smash hits, including ‘Hello’ and ‘Rolling in the Deep’. During her performance, the English singer also held interactive sessions with fans. However, things took an unexpected turn when an audience member yelled, "Pride sucks.”
Enraged by the fan's behaviour, the Grammy-winning crooner didn't hold back for a second and went off against the person, hitting back at the problematic behaviour displayed by them. She quickly responded, “Did you come to my f***ing show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f***ing stupid? Don’t be so f***ing ridiculous. If you have nothing nice to say, shut up, alright?”
This isn’t the first time Adele has stood up for the LGBTQ+ community. Back in 2016, after the horrific massacre of LGBTQ+ people in Florida, the singer paid a humble tribute to the community at her concert and said, “I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night… The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soul mates since I was really young, so I’m very moved by it.”
