Adele Tells Italian Fan To Stop Filming Her Concert

Adele told a fan during her concert in Verona, Italy, on Sunday night to stop filming the concert and enjoy the show “in real life.”

During Adele’s concert tour at the Arena di Verona, she requested that a female fan to put her camera and tripod away in front of thousands of other fans.

“Yeah, I want to tell that lady as well, can you stop filming me with a video camera? Because I’m really here in real life, you can enjoy it in real life, rather than through your camera,” the British singer said, as the crowd of fans began to chuckle.

“Can you take your tripod down? This isn’t a DVD, this is a real show, and I would really like you to enjoy my show because there’s lots of people outside that couldn’t come in,” Adele, 28, told the fan.

The woman reportedly had professional-looking gear with her, rather than just a phone camera like the other thousands of fans at the concert.

Here’s what some fans had to say about the incident:

I dunno how I feel about Adele calling out the fan at her show.
One side of me thinks it's horrible to embarrass someone like that, but

another side thinks you shouldn't set up a damn tri-pod at someones gig. There's definitely a difference between that & iPhone footage.

Also how is that roasting anyone? She was polite about it! Have you seen other musicians bring people on stage? That's real embarrassment.
