In an exclusive preview for PopCulture.com, the “Easy On Me” singer promises Winfrey that the special is elegant but has a “load of filthy jokes,” just like the singer herself. “You’ll hear a lot of older songs, and then four new songs,” Adele explains in the interview. “Being in LA as well where I sort of had to recover from everything that happened in my life the last few years. It was the perfect show.”
“It will look really elegant, and then I will tell a load of filthy jokes,” Adele admitted. “It will be sort of whiplash for them.” Concert attendees included Lizzo, Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade, and Tyler Perry. The special is set to cover Adele’s new music, her weight loss, being a mother to her 9-year-old son Angelo, and her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki, and in a new interview with Rolling Stone, the Grammy winner admitted that she was “f—— devastated” after their split. “I didn’t really know myself,” she told the magazine. “I thought I did. I don’t know if it was because my Saturn return or if it was because I was well and truly sort of heading into my 30s, but I just didn’t like who I was. I didn’t really know myself. I thought I did. But I just didn’t like who I was.” Stream Adele One Night Only live Sun. at 8:30PM ET/8PM PT on Paramount+ Premium & on demand the following day with Paramount+ Essential. Try it FREE!
