Adele Shows Love During Residency to Madonna as She Kicks Off the Celebration Tour: 'I'm Very, Very Excited'

Adele wants to celebrate the Queen of Pop. 

During her Weekends with Adele Las Vegas residency on Saturday, the singer-songwriter, 35, took a moment to shout out Madonna, 65, in honor of the launch of her Celebration Tour. Fans captured footage of the sweet moment. 

After walking across the stage at Caesars Palace Colosseum to Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and singing along to the song, she showed love to the pop icon. “Do you know Madonna did the opening of her tour tonight in London? Do we have any Madonna fans here tonight?” she said to the audience, who responded by cheering. 

“I love Madonna,” the Grammy winner raved. “I’m very, very excited.”

The “Hello” performer also said that she’s glad the hitmaker is in good health now, after being hospitalized for a bacterial infection in June. “I’m glad she’s feeling better and that she was able to open,” Adele continued. 

“I’m very jealous I wasn’t at the London show, but I’ll see her whenever she stops by in L.A.,” Adele shared. “Very, very excited.”

Madonna kicked off her highly anticipated, career-spanning Celebration Tour on Oct. 14 at London’s O2 Arena to an audience of 20,000 people. The Material Girl played over 40 of her biggest hits like "Like a Prayer," "Crazy for You," "Justify My Love" and "Ray of Light,” among others, and included a great deal of choreography and spectacle. 

The superstar also reflected on her career throughout the set and spoke about her “crazy year,” which included a health scare. She told the crowd that neither she or her doctors thought she was “gonna make it,” but felt as if she was saved by her children — Lourdes, 27, Rocco, 23, David, 18, Mercy, 17, and Stella and Estere, 11 — and had to “survive for them.” 

The “Like a Virgin” musician originally announced the Celebration Tour in January 2023 before postponing the dates due to illness. In August, she was able to officially share the rescheduled tour dates, which includes 78 shows across Europe and North America, lasting now until April 2024.
