[JAZZY PIANO CONTINUES]

Adele? Coming back?

EMMA: I'm just so excited to see

one of the greatest singers
of all time.

ALAN: Oh my God!
The atmosphere is electric.

Everyone is gagging
for a bit of Adele.

She is gifted, beyond gifted.
I'm thrilled to be here.

["I'll Be Waiting"
by Adele playing]

This is a house of love
for her tonight.
So it's gonna be wonderful.

I feel really honored to be
a part of it, it's great.

We've all been wondering
what she's been recording.

Finally, we're gonna hear it
live for the first time,

so yeah,
it's a really big moment.

We're gonna be amongst
the first people in the world

to hear these songs,
it's really special.

I think she's one
of the great originals,

she has the most
phenomenal voice.

Everything she sings
is from the heart,

and that's just a true
superstar, really.

She is the master at it,
so I'm excited to see that.

This is the hottest ticket
in town.
I actually can't believe it.

What a night.
And I literally can't wait.

Hi!

[AUDIENCE CONTINUES ROARING]

ADELE: Hello!
Hello to you lot there!

Hello!

Oh, guys!

I got really emotional

when I come 'round
the bend up there!

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

Oh dear, I haven't
been home for so long

and I haven't played
a show here for so long.

How are you all?

[AUDIENCE ROARS AND CHEERS]

[ADELE EXCLAIMS]
You lot are way more raucous

-than them lot
down 'ere, obviously.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

So we're all on the telly,
which is gonna be very exciting.

I'm actually such a-- hang on.
Let me have a little--

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

May I get a hot honey?
That's a chamomile.

-I'm not a diva. Anyway...
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

[EXCLAIMS]
Gotta get me breath back.

-I'm very, very nervous. Um...
-[AUDIENCE AWES]

[STUTTERS] I--
Of course I bloody am!

-Anyway... I am!
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

I'm such a big fan
of an Audience With.

It used to be, like,
the highlight of me life

whenever it was on,
so I'm so thrilled

to be doing it tonight.

-[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
-ADELE: Really excited.

ADELE: Very, very excited.

And we're gonna take
some questions actually,

which I'm very excited about.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

Dawn French, where are--

[CHEERING]

Hi, I love you.

-DAWN: Hi.
-ADELE: Hi.

Hi, well, tonight is
all about you, Adele,

so I want to ask you

when youare going
to write a song about me?

[LAUGHING]

No, that is not my question.
[CHUCKLES]

That is not my question.

Your music is so relatable,

do you have tons of people
coming up to you

to tell you all
about their break-ups

and their relationship issues?

To be hones-- Ooh!
Someone found that funny!

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

To be honest,
when I'm not, you know,
in singing mode,

you know, which is
most of my life, obviously--

Not much, but you know, at
a party or something like that,

someone will have a drink
and then come over

and tell me their
whole relationship history

and I'm just trying
to have a laugh.

And you know, sometimes

if I get to meet my fans
and stuff like that,

especially on
the tour last time,

I loved going into the crowd
and meeting people,

and some of the stories
were wild!

Like, you know, they really
credited me for like,

either getting them through
or making them kick him out,

-you know, and stuff like that.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

So kinda, yeah.
Why? You alright?

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS]

All good.

Good. I must say,
you look absolutely amazing!

-So do you!
-Thank you, darling. Thank you.

Alright! Hollywood--
Samuel L. Jackson,
where are you?

-[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
-[ADELE EXCLAIMS]

-Hey!
-ADELE: Hi!

-SAMUEL: Hey!
-What was your question?

My question is:

Have you ever used your

"Adele-ity" to get out
of a ticket?

-I can't believe you drive,
first of all, or--
-I do!

-SAMUEL: Do you?
-Of course, I do!

Well, have you used
your "Adele-ity"

to get out of any other
precarious situation?

Well, one time, on the 401,
Samuel L. Jackson.

-[SAMUEL CHUCKLES]
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

When I first moved L.A.--

which, by the way, was never
meant to be as long as it is.

But when I first moved there,
I'd never really driven there,

and I was in the fast lane,
like in the far left lane,

not going that fast,
there was actually
quite a lot of traffic,

and I was in a rental,

and the windows were
tinted a bit too dark,

but I didn't know that,
you know.

Anyways, I was minding
my own business,

and then suddenly,
a police car pulls up behind me

and, you know, he's like
basically hinting that I need
to pull over or whatever,

so I just stopped where I was,
I didn't know--

I'd never been
pulled over in my life.

So I pulled over
in the carpool lane,
they call it, don't they?

He comes on that like,
that tannoy on top of the car,
screaming at me, being like,

"What the hell are you doing!"
"Pull off! Pull off!"

So I followed him,
and we went off.

I was just on my way
to the supermarket, actually.

[INDISTINCT]
I was living my best life.

He pulls me over,
I wind all the windows down,

as I've been taught
to do before--

especially if you're getting
pulled over in America,

-you never know
what they're gonna do.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

And... I gave him my British
driver's license, [CHUCKLES]

which might as well have been
like a Blockbuster card.

Like, he's never seen it before.

Also, looks nothing like me.

It's like me when I was like 17.

Goes back--

You know, I'm English,
I'm just here for a bit,

like, blah blah blah, you know,
proving that it's real,

and then he goes back to the car
and comes back

and he's on the phone
with his wife

who's screaming at him
on the phone
for pulling me over.

He's like,
"I'm so sorry, Adele."

"Sorry. Do whatever it is
you need to do."

[LAUGHING]
And I got away with it!

I was shaking the whole way
to Bristol Farms.

It was hilarious!
But yes, so I did. Kind of.

I didn't mean to,
I was ready to go to jail.

-But--
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

But he was-- well,
she saved the day, really.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

Anyone that's ever
come to one of my shows before,

you know there's not
that many chances

to have a little shoulder
boogie or anything like that,

cuz most of them
are sad and miserable,

-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
-So... But if you want to,

this is, you know,
it's only chance to dance.

[LAUGHING]

ADELE: So enjoy!

Thank you.

ADELE: You are so kind.
Thank you.

Oh, thank you so much. So kind.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I'm excited but nervous
to sing like new songs.

They've been finished
for quite a while

but there's something
about that one

that just scares
the life out of me.

-[LAUGHING]
-[ADELE SIGHS]

so I don't just like,
wallow in meself.

[LAUGHING]

Alright, Gareth Southgate.

[CHEERING]

ADELE: Where are yo--
oh, hello!

Hi!

Yes, well done.

It was bloody wonderful watching
everything in the summer.

It was the best. How are ya?

I'm good,
thank you for your support.

We saw all the videos
of your getting quite--

-Hit me 'ead on a cupboard
and nearly passed out!
-[LAUGHING]

-So we're supposed to be
about collaboration--
-ADELE: Yes.

Sometimes we get that right.

Of everybody in here tonight,

who would you most
like to collaborate with?

[AUDIENCE AWES CURIOUSLY]

Probably put me
on a blind date, then?

[GARETH AND AUDIENCE LAUGH]

I'm gonna say Daniel Kaluuya.

Obviously, I'm not an actress,

but I just think you are
the greatest actor,

I really, really do.

I'm mesmerized by you
and your work,

and I'd love to just be--

or even just watch
you work one day,

cuz I feel like I'd learn a lot.

Yes, and you.

If you want to sign me
as a footballer, you know.

-[GARETH AND AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
-We'll take ya.

ADELE: Okay, Hannah?
Where are you, Hannah?
Right, superstar!

-Bonsoir, Mademoiselle--
-Oh my gosh, sorry, hello.
Bonsoir,hello.

-ADELE: Sorry.
-You look breathtaking.

-Congratulations on everything.
-Thank you so much.

-ADELE: It's literally
my favorite show.
-Thank you, thank you!

ADELE: Give her a round
of applause!

-[AUDIENCE CLAPS]
-HANNAH: Listen.

You are so rightly idolized
all around the world,

but I just wanted to know
who are your idols, and why?

AUDIENCE: Beyoncé!

You know I love me some
Beyoncé, but [MUMBLES]

you know, my idols,
and I'm about so say,

I can't really compare
anything I do to Beyoncé,

just because
it's like night and day,

-and she's just heavenly...
-[HANNAH LAUGHS]

But I couldn't
also really compar--

D'ya know what? Beyoncé's
one of me favorites, guys.

She's not one of me idols.

-Don't come for me.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

I always say,
like, Bette Midler,

-Barbara Streisand, for sure.
-[CHEERING]

And they're definitely like,
unreachable in every way,

but just the humor,

and just that I feel like
I have that in common with them.

You know,
it's like slightly like,

everyone likes to sing
sad songs but then like,

you talk dirty and all that.

But no one sings their face off
like you, my friend.

Oh, thank you.

It's just cuz I can't
breath properly in this dress.

-HANNAH: Magnificent.
-Thank you, my love.

Again, congratulations
on everything.

HANNAH: Thank you. Likewise.

Yeah, like Barbara and Bette,
and Celine Dion,

she's a joker and all,
isn't she?

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND CLAPS]

We announced the, you know,
tracklist for the album
the other day,

and someone told me
that this one caused
quite a stir

because it's called
"I Drink Wine."

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

Which was just
a joke that stuck,

and it ended up becoming
the name of the song.

But it's a song about
really growing up, I think.

I feel like a lot of people
will relate to the lyrics of it.

I'm sort of asking
someone a question,

but I also feel like
it's us all asking each other

and asking ourselves
the questions.

But it's definitely
one of me favorites,

so I hope you like it.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

[EMOTIONAL PIANO MUSIC]

["I DRINK WINE" BY ADELE PLAYS]

* How can one
become so bounded *

* By choices that somebody
else makes? *

* How come we've both
become a version *

* Of a person
we don't even like? *

* We're in love
with the world *

* But the world just wants
to bring us down *

* By putting ideas
in our heads *

* That corrupt
our hearts somehow *

* When I was a child *

* Every single thing
could blow my mind *

* Soaking it all up for fun *

* But now I only
soak up wine *

* They say to play hard
you work hard *

* Find balance in
the sacrifice *

* Yet I don't know anybody
who's truly satisfied *

* You better believe I'm
trying to keep climbing *

* But the higher we climb *

* Feels like we're both
none the wiser *

* So I hope I learn
to get over myself *

* Stop trying
to be somebody else *

* So we can love
each other for free *

* Everybody wants something *

* You just want me *

* Why am I obsessing *

* About the things
I can't control? *

* Why am I seeking approval *

* From people I
don't even know? *

* In these crazy times
I hope to find *

* Something I
can cling on to *

* 'Cause I need
some substance in my life *

* Something real
something that feels true *

* You better believe for you
I've cried *

* High tides *

* 'Cause I want you so bad *

* But you can't fight
fire with fire *

* Oh, so I hope
I learn myself *

* Stop trying
to be somebody else *

* Oh, I just want to love you *

* Love you for free *

* Everybody wants
something from me *

* You just want me *

* Listen I know
how low I can go *

* I give as good as I get *

* You get the
brunt of it all *

* 'Cause you're all
I've got left *

* Oh, I hope in time *

* We both will find
peace of mind *

* Sometimes the road
less traveled *

* Is a road best
left behind *

* Well I hope
I learn to get over myself *

* Stop trying to be
somebody else *

* Oh, I just want to love you,
love you for free, yeah *

* 'Cause everybody
wants something from me *

* You just want me *

* You better
believe I'm trying*

-[AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS]
-ADELE: Thank you.

We've got some more questions,
Idris?

-[IDRIS EXCLAIMS]
-[ADELE EXCLAIMS]

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

ADELE: 'Ello! Me name's Adele.
Adele, Adele.

-IDRIS: How are you? Oh my God.
-ADELE: I'm good, how are you?

I'm amazing, hello, Adele!
Hello, Adele's band!

ADELE: Yes!

[CHEERING]

I wanted to ask you
what your favorite biscuit was,

but my wife said
"Don't ask that."

-It's a cream custard.
-It's a stupid question.

So, the question
I really have for you is

that you've inspired singers,

you've created
incredible albums,

but what's the little
tiny moment that you've done

that you're very most proud of?

I feel like, to be honest,

I always feel a bit
of impostor syndrome,

-with everything that I do--
-[AUDIENCE AWES]

No, I do! And that's fine.

I think it's probably
a good thing.

Imagine if I didn't think that,
I'd be horrible.

[IDRIS AND AUDIENCE LAUGH]

But one thing I am really,
really proud of,

and I can't remem-- and I feel
like probably everyone

in my band and my team
know this, like,

I can't remember much of it,
cuz it was such a--

headlining Glastonbury--

-[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
-...was like-- I just

they had been
asking me for a while--

Not for that long, obviously,

cuz they asked me
at the end of "21"

and I was like, "Oh my God, no!"

I was not ready.

And I grew up going
to festivals,

so it was kinda quite sad for me

that I felt like
I couldn't do it.

So I said yes, actually,

when I was watching
Kanye headline

because he'd come on
and everyone just went mad,

and I was so excited.
I was like, I'm gonna do it!

I said it there
and then to Emily,

and I didn't think
I'd actually turn up.

Like, I drove there myself
on my own.

-There was torrential rain--
-What?!

Yeah! Listening to Spice Girls
the whole way,

like really trying to zone in--

-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND CHEERS]
-ADELE: No, for real.

And then I thought
I might die on the motorway,

driving meself back
because I couldn't see anything,

and the fact that I turned up
and actually got on the stage.

I was so scared
and I loved every minute of it.

-IDRIS: Yeah.
-ADELE: Not that I remember it,

but I remember in the moment
just being like,

"this is amazing, like,"

so it was
definitely Glastonbury,

the fact that I said
I'd do it and I did.

Well, we love you!
We love you so much.

-You're amazing.
-Thank you, darling. Thank you.

[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]

Babes, what're you gonna say,
Alan?

[ALAN CACKLES]

-Right, 'ello love!
-'Ello!

What's your question?
I'm nervous.

No! Listen, it's lovely.
Well, not really.

[LAUGHTER]

Famously, you write songs
about your exes.

If your exes
wrote a song about you.

[LAUGHING]

What would it be called
and what would it sound like?

-[ADELE SIGHS]
-ALAN: We wanna know everything.

-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
-[ALAN GIGGLES]

Probably be called
"No One Like You," I imagine.

-[ALAN LAUGHS]
-[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

I can't imagine any of them

would ever really
be able to do it,

* There's a fire
starting in my heart *

* Reaching a fever pitch *

* And it's bringing me
out the dark *

* Finally I can see you
crystal clear *

* Go ahead and sell me out
and I'll lay your... bare *

* See how I'll leave
with every piece of you *

* Don't underestimate
the things that I will do *

* There's a fire
starting in my heart *

* Reaching a fever pitch *

* And it's bringing me
out the dark *

* The scars of your love
remind me of us *

[CHEERING]

* Baby, I have no story

through every open door *

* Count your blessings
to find what you look for *

* Turn my sorrow
into treasured gold *

* You'll pay me back
in kind and reap just
what you've sown *

I see you, Hakeem.

* We could have had it all *

* We could have had it all *

* It all, it all, it all *

* We could have had it all *

[AUDIENCE ROARING]

This song changed my--

Well, it changed my life
and it also saved me life
a little bit.

It was the last song
that I wrote for this album,

and when I first started
writing it,

I hadn't realized
how far I was coming

over a sort of like 18-month
to two year period,

I hadn't been able to recognize

the progress
that I had been making.

But I wrote this and when
I listened back to it,
I couldn't believe it!

I was like, you know,
I couldn't believe
how far I had come

and it was amazing for me to
hear that in one of my songs

because there's been
a little bit of a disconnect

for me and my songs for a while

just because I find all
of this very terrifying.

But the song really moved me,

and it made me really proud
of myself,

and for a long time,
I listened to it a lot.

Just as a reminder of that--
I was recognizing

-that I'm an absolute nightmare,
basically.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

But I love it very, very much,
and I hope you do too.

It's called "Hold On."

-[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
-[SLOW SENTIMENTAL PIANO]

* Hold on *

["HOLD ON" BY ADELE PLAYS]

VOCALIST: * You
are still strong *

* Love will soon come *

* Just hold, hold on *

* Oh, what have
I done yet again *

* Have I not
learned anything *

* I don't want to
live in chaos *

* It's like a ride
that I want to get off *

* It's hard to hold onto
who I am *

* When I'm stumbling
in the dark for a hand *

* I am so tired of battling
with myself *

* With no chance to win *

VOCALIST: * Hold on *

ADELE: * Let
time be patient *

VOCALIST: * You
are still strong *

* Let pain be gracious *

VOCALISTS: * Love
will soon come *

ADELE: * Just hold, hold on *

* I swear to God
I am such a mess *

* The harder that I try
I regress *

* I'm my own worst enemy *

* Right now
I truly hate being me *

* Every day feels like
the road I'm on *

* Might just open up
and swallow me whole *

* How do I feel
so mighty small *

* When I'm struggling
to feel at all? *

* Just hold on *

* Let time be patient *

* You are still strong *

* Let pain be gracious *

* Ooh *

* Just hold, hold on *

* Sometimes loneliness
is the only rest we get *

VOCALISTS:
* Just hold on just hold on *

* And the emptiness
actually lets us forget *

VOCALISTS:
* Just hold on, just hold on *

* Sometimes forgiveness
is easiest in secret *

* So just hold on, ooh-ooh *

* Let time be patient *

* Let pain be gracious *

* Love will soon come, baby *

* If you just hold on *

* Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on *

* Just let time be patient *

* 'Cause you're
still strong *

* I'm still strong *

* Just be gracious *

* And love will soon come *

* If you just hold on, mmm *

* Just be patient,
just be patient *

CHOIR: * You just hold on,
you just hold on *

CHOIR: * You just hold on,
just hold on, just hold on *

Just hold on, alright?

Thank you, you lot,
thank you all so much.

[AUDIENCE ROARING]

ADELE: Thank you.

Thank you very, very much.

Alright, got some more
questions. Emma Thompson?

EMMA: Oh, 'ello!

ADELE: I've seen you
all night dancing!

You've been
dancing all night! Hi.

-[EMMA CHUCKLES]
-ADELE: Hi, you look lovely.

Hello, girl.

This isn't my question.

It's a sort of sub-question,

but underneath
that beautiful frock,

are you actually wearing socks?

Oh! I'm wearing tights,
but they've fallen down

and they're all baggy
in the crotch.

EMMA: Ah, that's why. I just--

-Yeah.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

Figured I'd wear tights,

I don't like singing
in high heels because--

-EMMA: No, you can't, who can?
-Might fall over, yeah.

I thought
I couldn't love you more,

but now of course, I do.

-Um...
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

So look, my question is:

When you were younger,

was there someone
who kind of supported you

or inspired you or sort of,
you know, protected you

from all the trials
and tribulations of life

and inspired you to go on?

Yeah, I had a teacher
at Chestnut Grove

who taught me English,
that was Miss McDonald.

Did you ever keep in touch?
Did you see--

No! She left
when I was in year eight.

She left when
I was in year eight, yeah.

But it was just one year,
but she was like,

she got me
really into literature.

I've always been obsessed
with English

and obviously now,
I write lyrics,

but she also did street dance.

I was too scared to join,

but like in the canteen,

they used to do these dances
and stuff like that,

but yeah, she just--
she was so bloody cool,

so engaging
and she really made us care

and we knew that she cared
about us and it was just--

She used to have all these
gold bracelets on

and gold sig rings.

I don't know,
she was just bloody cool.

And so relatable and likeable

that I really looked forward
to my English lessons.

Yeah, cuz it's odd actually.
Funny enough.

-[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
-[SENTIMENTAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYS]

Is she here?
Is Miss McDonald here?

EMMA: She's here tonight.

ADELE: Hello, my darling!

-Hello!
-Hi!

McDONALD: Oh my God,
I'm so proud of you.

I didn't know that
you were coming!

That's okay! It was supposed
to be a surprise.

-Hi! How are you?
-I'm good.

Oh, you look exactly the same!

You look exactly the same!
Are you still teaching?

-No, no.
-What do you do now?
Just dancing?

No, I'm just looking
after my family.

Oh my God!
[EXCLAIMS]

-Sorry. [CRYING]
-[AUDIENCE AWES]

McDONALD: Don't cry. Thank you.

-I didn't know you were coming!
-Thank you for remembering me.

Oh my God, no.
You really did change my life.

-Mum! Mum, can you believe it?
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

She's over there,
she doesn't want to be filmed.

Oh, now I gotta get
me whole face redone.

-[McDONALD LAUGHS]
-Oh my God, how are you?

-I haven't seen you
since I was like, 12.
-I'm good.

ADELE: Do you have kids,
what are you doing?

Yeah, I've got two kids,
Skye and Hayden.

Hi, guys! [COOS]

Oh my God!
I'm so happy you're here!

Can I get your number
from them or something?

Yes, of course. Of course.

Yeah. Oh, alright.

I gotta get me make-up
fixed, bye Miss.

Bye, darling. Thank you.

Still got all my books, ya know,

I've got all my books
from when you were my teacher.

["SET FIRE TO THE RAIN"
BY ADELE PLAYS]

* I let it fall my heart *

* And as it fell
you rose to claim it *

* It was dark
and I was over *

* Until you kissed my lips
and you saved me *

* My hands they were strong *

* But my knees
were far too weak *

* To stand in your arms *

* Without falling
to your feet *

* But there's a side to you *

* That I never knew,
never knew *

* All the things you'd say *

* They were never true,
never true *

* And the games you'd play *

* You would always win,
always win *

* But I set fire
to the rain *

* Watched it pour
as I touched your face *

* Well it burned
while I cried *

* 'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name *

* Your name *

* When laying with you
I could stay there *

* Close my eyes
feel you here forever *

* You and me together
nothing is better *

* But there's a side to you *

* That I never knew,
never knew *

* All the things you'd say *

* They were never true,
never true *

* And the games you'd play *

* You would always win,
always win *

* But I set fire
to the rain *

* Watched it pour
as I touched your face *

* Well it burned
while I cried *

* 'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name *

* Your name *

* I set fire to the rain *

* And I threw us
into the flames *

* When we fell
something died *

* 'Cause I knew that
that was the last time *

* The last time *

* Sometimes I wake up
by the door *

* That heart you caught
must be waiting for you *

* Even now
when we're already over *

* I can't help myself
from looking for you *

* I set fire to the rain *

* Watched it pour
as I touched your face *

* Well it burned
while I cried *

* 'Cause I heard it
screaming out your name *

* Your name *

* I set fire to the rain *

* And I threw us
into the flames *

[ADELE SIGHS]
It's always a bit touch or go,
that big note at the end.

Sometimes I get it,
sometimes I don't.

Stormzy, you got a question
for me?

I'm excited. Hello, darling.

-[STORMZY LAUGHS]
-ADELE: How are you?

-What's happenin', Adele?
-Nice to see you!

[STORMZY CHUCKLES]

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

A lot of people get awkward
when they meet their idols.

Is there anyone you've met
that you got awkward with?

Oh, for sure.
Also, can we just say

that last time
I was doing an album

was when we first met,
wasn't it?

Was when you came to watch
at the O2 and I dedicated--

And I was super awkward
when I met you.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

I thought you were pretty chill!

Look at us now!

-Look at us!
-Look at us!

We're super close actually,
me and Stormz.

I won't go into detail,
because we're
both very private people,

-[STORMZY LAUGHS]
-[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

But we had
a real moment, didn't we?

With like, the ocean and God,

and all sorts last summer,
it was absolutely--
No, we did! Truly.

We felt a presence around
us and we both were like,

-"Let's go get life."
-STORMZY: Yeah.

Yes, actually. Only really one.

Stevie Nicks, right?

So I'm a very
big Fleetwood Mac fan,

and I'm just obsessed
with her melodies
and stuff like that,

but I felt pretty chill
about going to see them.

It was for one of my birthdays.

I can't remember, they were
playing the O2 years ago,

The minute I saw her,
I burst into tears.

Like, it was so
bloody embarrassing.

-Like, snob crying.
-[AUDIENCE GIGGLES]

I was so-- I was getting
more and more upset

that I was crying
in front of Stevie Nicks

and she sort of had
to go into icon mode

and be like, "Oh, it's alright."

[STORMZY AND AUDIENCE LAUGH]

I think she thought
I was a right wally,

but yeah,
that's the only time I feel like

I've really, really really
been starstruck and awkward.

I also don't know what I'd do
if I ever met
The Rock Dwayne Johnson,

because I've been obsessed
with him since I was like, 10.

But yeah, it was
definitely Stevie Nicks.

Nice to see you, darling.
Thank you for coming.
