Bruce springsteen lands a coat to adele

The Boss proves to be a true gentleman

Adele has paid tribute to Bruce Springsteen for lending her his coat while she was watching his concert in Portugal.

Springsteen played a Rock In Rio festival show in Lisbon a week ago (May 20), which Adele attended. But Adele admitted she was “underdressed” with the outdoor concert. 

Talking for the crowd at her show in Lisbon, Adele said: “I was wearing an absurd skirt, that has been silly. It gets quite windy in Lisbon. I had a bit thin jumper on, and Bruce became available and said ‘You’re usually cold.’”

Adele explained she initially attempted to wave Springsteen’s offer away, saying: “I would have been a bit drunk. I’d had four portions of wine, so I said I’d be fine.”

However, Springsteen insisted that Adele cover herself. Adele said: “He provided me with his coat, so I was watching his show, wearing his coat. I was too embarrassed to set my arms within the coat, as I’m obviously too small. So I just wore it on my small shoulders.”

When We Were Young singer is halfway by using a European tour, which ends on June 15 before she makes her debut headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on June 25.

The singer unveiled the recording for her new single ‘Send My Love (To Your New Lover)’ on Monday.
