Don’t try to stop Adele fans from getting their groove on.
That’s the lesson a security guard took from the British singer‘s Melbourne concert when he was singled out and berated by the 28-year-old.
Adele was onstage and mid-way through the final performance of her Australian tour when she noticed a guard instructing people to stop dancing and stay seated.
“Before we go to the next song… excuse me sir? Can you stop telling people to sit down? This is a music show,” Adele called out.
"If you're moaning about people dancing then what the f**k have you come to the show for?
"If I see one more person get told to sit down, I swear to God."
Adele did say she was "a bit emotional tonight" at her final Australian show, capping off a tour that has earned as many headlines for its proposals, mozzie attacks, blackouts and on-stage admissions as for her amazing performances.
While the megastar defending her fans' right to dance was spectacular, it was not the only heart-warming moment of the night.
A fan the songstress selected by chance to join her onstage received a proposal from his partner in front of the 77,300 strong crowd.
Adele had chosen Chris after she'd spotted him burst into tears as she started singing Hello.
The 37-year-old walked on stage with his partner Wade - who promptly got down on one knee and proposed to Chris. He said yes!
"That wasn’t planned, I had no idea," Adele said later.

I had the opposite happen at a Rolling Stones show. People complained about some of us standing up, the security guard just said "nah, they're allowed to do that" and walked away.
I dare say most of her fans in seats were also telling people off for standing, it happens all the time at those sort of gigs at those sort of venues.
