A longtime fan of The Rolling Stones, Adele has been friendly with frontman Mick Jagger since they met at a party held by his daughter Jade Jezebel in 2008.
A source told The Sun: ‘When people started mocking Adele’s table manners good old Mick leapt to her defence saying he loved her ‘couldn’t care less’ attitude. He said it was refreshing to meet someone like her.
‘When Jade then told him Adele was the ‘Chasing Pavements’ singer he knew the song and said they should get together for a gig.’
Adele added: ‘I couldn’t believe it when I realised I was sitting opposite Mick Jagger. I was really nervous. I wasn’t making any sense when I was talking to him but he was really charming.’
Who Shot Rock And Roll by Gail Buckland

The latest look into Adele’s home comes after the star was seen sharing uploads of her hanging out at her property in LA during lockdown last year.
In June 2020, Adele was seen hanging out in her living room re-living her headlining set at Glastonbury festival in 2016. She donned the same dress she wore for her knockout performance as she played it back on a flat TV screen that was fitted into a modern-looking unit up against the wall.
Adele revealed her penchant for house plants, as a number of green-leafed pots dressed up the room, with the star seen crouching down by the TV next to a brown leather sofa and chic yellow-trimmed coffee table.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Adele has included a huge nod back to where she grew up in Tottenham and her London roots, as she has a huge ‘Tottenham Hale’ tube sign in her garden.
It was visible through slats in the blinds and sent fans into a frenzy on Twitter, with one posting: ‘Peeped the Tottenham Hale tube sign through her blinds!! We STAN a #N17 QUEEN!!! @Adele.’
Another tweeted: ‘Adele having a tottenham hale tube station sign in her garden is possibly the best design feature i have ever seen anywhere ever.’

There’s a saying, you can take a girl out of Tottenham, but you can’t take Tottenham out of the girl.’

At the time, she wrote: ‘Thank you for the birthday love. I hope you’re all staying safe and sane during this crazy time. I’d like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe while risking their lives! You are truly our angels ♥️ 2020 okay bye thanks x.’

I was still a child, didn’t get the chance to feel the world around me, had no time to choose, what I chose to do, so go easy on me…

Healing: Adele described making her new album as her ‘outlet’ for dealing with her divorce, as she revealed Easy On Me was the first song she wrote for her new record
In the end it was Easy On Me because its got this soaring chorus and it just felt like a “me” song. Having been away so long, I felt like this is what people were waiting for.’
Adele continued: ‘Last time on 25 [previous album], it was obvious, [the first single] it was Hello.
‘Easy On Me was the first song I wrote for the [new] album, so it’s really beautiful that it ended up being the first song I released.’
Speaking honestly about the recording process, Adele told host Zoe Ball: ‘It was bloody hard work to make.

She continued: ‘I can’t unlock a key to the door with my mental health and take it with me, I’ve got to leave it in the door for everyone else… I’m in a strong place to put that vulnerability out… I’m really proud of it.’
Having previously described her divorce as the ‘most turbulent period of her life’, Adele confessed: ‘I feel like I lost sight and lost the appreciation of what a gift it is to make music.
‘I got a bit frightened of it for a while, but it really took care of me. Not just making this record, my own record, but diving back into old records of other people’s that I loved; discovering new artists on Soundcloud or whatever. It brought so much joy to my life being able to listen to music and wail at the top of my lungs along to me own bloody songs as I was writing them.
‘I don’t know what my outlet would have been had I not had it… It was bloody hard work to make emotionally.’
