Hello free drink

Adele’s boozy treat for friends and fans as she films telly gig

Her new album includes a track called I Drink Wine.

And Adele, her friends and a very lucky crowd were rolling in the grog yesterday when the superstar laid on a free bar while filming her ITV Audience With… special.

Insiders said the Hello singer wanted to create a “pub- l ike” feel with pals for the gig at the London Palladium.

She was joined by A-list chums Elton John, Lit t le Mix and Alan Carr.

A source revealed: “Attendees were told there would be a free bar because Adele wanted to create a laid-back vibe with a pub feel. It was very much about having a good time and a laugh with her mates.

“ITV pulled out all the stops and the liquor was running freely.”

The 33-year-old, who has recently released new music for the first time in six years, performed record-breaking No1 single Easy On Me along with tracks from her forthcomin­g album 30.

The concert, which was her first in the UK in four years, will air on November 21. It also included performanc­es of many of her classic hits in front of the specially invited audience.

Adele’s new boyfriend Rich Paul was also in attendance. She was seen sporting a band on her wedding finger as she exited a studio in London on Friday – sparking speculatio­n they are engaged.

In September the couple went “Instagram official” when she shared a stunning black- and- white snap of them together alongside a heart emoji. They f irst stepped out as a couple at an NBA game in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 17.

ITV’s Katie Rawcliffe said: “As one of the world’s most in- demand stars, we are beyond thrilled to bring this one-off night to ITV. Adele is a remarkable artist and this will be a very special event.”

Other titles on her forthcomin­g release include Cry Your Heart Out and Love Is A Game, as the crooner gives a candid insight into her 2019 divorce from ex- husband Simon Konecki.
