Adele delivered an absolutely breathtaking performance at her hotly-anticipated comeback concert and she even orchestrated a marriage proposal mid-show! Don’t let the divorce album fool you—Adele is still a romantic at heart.
The ‘Easy On Me’ songstress welcomed the star-studded audience in helping her make one particular couple’s wildest dreams come to life during her televised special, Adele: One Night Only. She addressed the crowd and told them about Quentin and Ashley, a couple who had recently marked seven years together and also happen to be big Adele fans!
Adele cheekily quipped: “If you make a noise, I’m going to kill you.”
A blindfolded Ashley who was wearing noise-cancelling headphones was led onstage and the unforgettable moment unfolded. Once the two were standing center stage, Quentin got down on one knee before a surprised Ashley, who removed her blindfold and headphones.
“Who are these people?” Ashley asked as the crowd laughed.
Later Quentin officially asked, “Will you marry me?”
The fiancé-to-be instantly begin to cry and asked: “What are you doing?”
Quentin thanked his partner for her patience and proclaimed that the proposal had been “a long time coming”.
The audience cheered as Ashley agreed to marry him, not many people can say that got engaged in front of a crowd filled with A-list celebrities!
Adele serenaded the fiancés after their movie moment with ‘Make You Feel My Love,’ her popular cover of Bob Dylan’s 1997 song. Quentin and Ashley later enjoyed the intimate performance while sitting front row, joining guests like Lizzo, Selena Gomez, Gabrielle Union, and more.
