Adele, the powerhouse vocalist known for her emotive performances, did not hold back when a homophobic heckler disrupted her Las Vegas residency show on the first night of Pride Month. The incident took place Saturday night, and the British singer quickly addressed the offensive remark with her characteristic candor.
When a fan yelled, "Pride sucks," Adele, 36, immediately halted her performance to respond. "Did you come to my f–king show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f–king stupid?" she shot back from the stage, her frustration evident.
“Don’t be so f–king ridiculous,” she continued. “If you have nothing nice to say, shut up, alright?” The audience erupted in cheers, showing their support for Adele's stand against bigotry.
Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate Adele's defense of the LGBTQ+ community. One admirer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “And that’s why she’s mother.” Another added, “A woman of the people. Adele can literally do no wrong. She is golden. Nothing but pure talent and kindness.”

Adele's Las Vegas residency, which began in November 2022, has been a massive success, leading to multiple extensions. Her emotional connection with her audience has been a hallmark of her performances. Last year, she stopped a show to defend a fan who was being hassled by security for dancing, asking, “Why are you all bothering him? Can you leave him alone, please?”
Despite the challenges, including an emotionally charged set that reportedly leaves her in tears before and after performances, Adele's residency at Caesars Palace continues to captivate audiences. As a source revealed, "The enormity of the show and her success is so impactful that she has a little cry beforehand or even after the shows."
Adele's recent confrontation with the homophobic heckler only reinforces her status as a performer who not only delivers musically but also stands up for her beliefs, further endearing her to fans around the world.
