Adele’s journey to fame really took off with one song—“Rolling in the Deep.” Released in 2010 as the first single from her second album, 21, it turned her into a global sensation. The song was a massive hit, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and staying there for an incredible seven weeks. It won three Grammy Awards and sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Even Rolling Stone magazine called it one of the greatest songs ever written, ranking it at number 82.
Fast forward to November 2021, nearly eleven years later. Adele is no longer just a rising star—she’s a worldwide superstar. Now, she’s back in London, her hometown, performing at a special event called “An Audience with Adele” at the famous London Palladium. The show feels like a celebration of her journey, looking back on all she has achieved. Even though she lives in Los Angeles now, being back in London makes the night even more special.
The format of the show is perfect for Adele—she’s performing live in front of a small audience (well, small for her standards). This allows her to connect with the crowd, crack jokes, and, of course, show off her incredible voice.
And the audience? It’s packed with celebrities! Big names like Samuel L. Jackson, Emma Watson, Dawn French, Stormzy, David Tennant, Emma Thompson, and Stella McCartney are all there to watch her sing.
Then, the big moment of the night arrives—Adele performs “Rolling in the Deep”. The crowd erupts with excitement. As she sings, the entire audience rises to their feet, clapping, dancing, and singing along to the song that changed everything for her.
The cameras capture an unforgettable sight—celebrities losing themselves in the music, dancing like crazy, caught up in the magic of the moment. The performance feels like a victory lap, a reminder of just how far Adele has come.
As the song ends, the whole audience bursts into thunderous applause, celebrating Adele’s incredible decade of success. It’s a perfect, unforgettable homecoming.
