Adele is known for pulling fans on stage during her concerts, but even she was surprised when a man proposed to his partner in front of the crowd at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium.

Wade Nicholson-Doyle brought his partner, Chris, to the show in Australia as a birthday present.

“So that was unplanned, I had no idea there, Chris. I’m sorry,” she told the crowd afterwards.

Adele offered her congratulations to the pair saying, “Thank you for coming to the show, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for doing that, that was emotional.”

Between singing her songs, she carried on with her usual crowd banter and at one point, she called out a security guard for telling people to sit down.

She continued: “This is a music show, if people can’t see then they can stand up. And if you’re moaning about people dancing, then what the f**k did you come to a show for?”

“If I see one more person being told to sit down, I swear to God.”

Adele played to a crowd of 77,000 fans at the final concert. Her two Melbourne shows had the highest attendance of any event at Etihad Stadium since it opened in 2000.
