Over the summer, Adele played a 10-date residency at the purpose-built Messe Munchen arena in Munich. During one show, she took a moment to praise Chappell Roan, calling the rising singer “absolutely amazing”. “She is spectacular, and it turns out, she’s not just got one song,” she said. “She’s got, like, seven fucking brilliant songs.”
She also confirmed her engagement to Rich Paul live on stage and performed her 2008 single ‘Chasing Pavements’ for the first time in seven years. At another gig, she paused the set to stream the semi-final and final of the women’s 100m Olympic races.
Celine Dion, meanwhile, sang a showstopping version of Edith Piaf’s ‘L’Hymne a L’Amour’ at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony in June, her first public performance since revealing her stiff person syndrome diagnosis in 2022.
