Audiences were almost as star-studded as her private show An Audience With Adele in March earlier this year, when she brought in James Corden, Cameron Diaz, Niall Horan and Milly Bobby Brown.
It was the first public show Adele has played since she headlined two Wembley concerts in 2017. She postponed her residency in Las Vegas in January.
Earlier in the day, Adele is said to have performed a three-song sound check prior to the massive performance.
