Adele kicked off her UK arena tour earlier this week, and stopped the show to help one fan propose to her boyfriend. Watch the footage below.
The gig took place on 29 February and, because it was a Leap Year day, an awkwardly antiquated tradition states that women are 'allowed' to propose to their partners on that day.
After asking if anyone in the crowd wanted to do just that, one fan made her way onto the stage. It transpired that she'd already asked her boyfriend to marry him earlier in the day, and that he'd said, "Maybe in a little while."
"You need to say a proper yes, bruv," insisted Adele. "You have to say yes." When the crowd began booing him, she joked, "Oh my god they're turning. After three everyone say, 'Come on Neil'." Eventually, the man nodded his head and Adele jumped in the air in celebration.
Later, speaking to the Mail Online, Hayley Consuegra revealed that it was Adele that helped repair the pair's relationship. "It's funny because we actually broke up for a while," she said, "but we got back together after I sent him a link to Adele's song 'Someone Like You'. I had seen it on the Brits and it make me think of him. Adele was a big part of us getting back together. She has really written the words to our story."
@Adele thank you for tonight. you wrote the words to our story.i had the courage stood next to you.thank you for being part of our memories
