Adele stops Las Vegas show to yell at security for ‘bothering’ dancing fan

Go easy on him.

Adele came to an enthusiastic young fan’s defence on Saturday during her Weekends With Adele Las Vegas residency, briefly stopping the show to order venue security at Caesars Palace to stop “bothering” him.

In a three-minute TikTok video with more than 2.1 million views posted on Sunday, user Juan P. Lastra records himself standing up in front of a mostly seated audience at The Colosseum, belting his heart out to the 16-time Grammy winner’s song I Drink Wine.

But this doesn’t go over with one concertgoer, a middle-aged woman who approaches him and asks that he sit back down, reported the New York Post.

He reluctantly obliges until Adele, 35, finishes the song, then says in his direction, “You can stand up now, darling”.

Still recording, Mr Lastra springs out of his seat, excitedly cheering and jumping up and down over his moment of recognition.

That’s when a security guard approaches him, seemingly to get Mr Lastra to calm down.

“I will stay calm, I will stay calm,” he assures the guard, gasping for his breath.

Adele then told her band to stop playing Water Under the Bridge to ask: “What is going on there with that young fan who’s been bothered so much since I came on? For standing up?”

“Why are you all bothering him? Can you leave him alone, please?” Adele asked.

“They won’t bother you anymore, darling. You enjoy the show. Leave him alone.”

“Thank you, thank you,” an emotional Mr Lastra said, blowing kisses to the singer amid his bewilderment.

“Sorry, guys,” Adele added. “He’s been bothered the whole show by security and other people sitting behind him. He’s here to have fun. All of you are here to have fun.”

“Thank you so much for this breathtaking night and for standing up for me, so that I could live your concert as it should be,” Mr Lastra wrote in a caption on his TikTok post.

“I’m also sorry that I didn’t respond back to anything you asked me. You started talking to me and I literally stopped breathing,” he revealed.

Adele thank you so much for this breathtaking night and for standing up for me, so that I could live your concert as it should be. I’m also sorry that I didnt respond back to anyrhing you asked me. you started talking to me and I literally stopped breathing. I had been planning to come to this concert for over a year and I finally had the opportunity to come see most beautiful glorious woman this earth has gotten. I still can not wrap my head around the fact that I was in the same room as ADELE, sang every song with her, and she even stopped the show to defend me. I did not expected everyone in my section to be mad at me for having the time of my life and wanting to stand up and sing with her but I honestly did not care at all about what anyone was saying to me I just was in awe with the master piece I was watching with my own eyes. I did not have time for them haters. @Adele Access #adele#weekendswithadele#lasvegas#ceasarspalace🇵🇷

The Post has contacted Mr Lastra and Adele for comment.

Earlier this month, a source claimed to UK newspaper The Mirror that the Rumour Has It songstress “cries before and after” her performances at Caesars Palace due to her emotionally charged set.

“Adele goes through a gamut of emotions during her performances, which the audience may not be aware of,” the anonymous source dished to the outlet.

“The enormity of the show and her success is so impactful that she has a little cry beforehand or even after the shows.”
