Adele Skewers Bouncer At Melb Gig: 'If I See One More Person Get Told To Sit Down, I Swear To God'

"If you're moaning about people dancing, then why the fuck have you come to a show for?

More Adele Adele

Adele made sure to leave a lasting impression at the final show of her Australian tour in Melbourne last night after she told off a bouncer in front of a record crowd. 

As Herald Sun reports, the UK singer stopped mid-show at Etihad Stadium to address a security guard who had allegedly been telling fans to stop standing up from their seats. 

"Just before we go to the next song… excuse me sir? Could you stop telling people to sit down?" she said.

"This is a music show, if people can't see then they can stand up.

"If you're moaning about people dancing, then why the fuck have you come to a show for?

"If I see one more person get told to sit down, I swear to God."

See fan-shot footage of the incident below.

Sunday night was made more memorable by news that Adele cracked the attendance record for Etihad by bringing in 77,300 punters, 2000 more than she did on the Saturday night performance.
