Adele invites S'pore fan onstage at Munich concert

A video posted on TikTok on Aug 24 was captioned: "Wholesome moment. Adele in Munich night 7".

In it, the female fan was invited onstage after the pop diva spotted someone in the crowd holding up a hand-drawn Singapore flag and paper banners with the words "6,248 miles to see you, Adele" and "Love from Singapore".

The 36-year-old remarked: "6,248 miles. Come up, my love." The figure refers to the distance (10,055km) between Munich and Singapore.
