Adele to take on German beer bars by opening her own British pub in Munich
The British pub will serve traditional English pints and includes a stage for a cover band
PROUD Tottenham girl Adele will be giving Germany’s world-famous beer halls a run for their money when she kicks off her residency in Munich next month.
Despite the nation’s steins of ale being popular around the world, it seems the Easy On Me singer thinks they are no match for a traditional British pint.
I’m told the singer is currently building a replica of an East London boozer near the site.
The British pub will serve traditional English pints and includes a stage for a cover band.
It will be part of a special pop-up “Adele World” area neighbouring the purpose-built 80,000-seat outdoor venue.
In a special press conference in the city ahead of the ten gigs next month, bosses revealed the shows will feature the largest outdoor screens ever made for a stage show.
Measuring 220 metres wide and 30 metres high, the LED screens will mean that everyone in the stadium will be able to see Adele – even if they are right at the back.
Teasing the shows, Adele’s manager Jonathan Dickins said: “The gigs will be the total opposite of the small Vegas shows and be made up of a different set list.”
He added: “But I’m not going to say anything more. There has to be something surprising.”
Adele hasn’t released an album since she dropped 30 back in 2021, but fans should not be expecting a new record any time soon.
Speaking on German TV, Adele said: “I don’t have any plans for new music at all. I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”
You’re always welcome to come and work on Bizarre, Adele.
Fresh Beat
BRONSKI Beat are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut album The Age Of Consent with a deluxe reissue.
The new version will feature fresh remixes and exclusive formats as well as early versions of the songs and rare radio sessions.
Frontman Jimmy Somerville said: “When there is something we do in our life that can have such an impact on other people’s lives, and to be told this by others, it’s humbling.”
Raye paves way for Nelly
RAYE basked in the glory after performing her seven-minute track Genesis at a massive gig in Malta.
The Brit singer-songwriter was backed by a brass band as she sang at the Isle of MTV Malta concert.
The night was headlined by Nelly Furtado who announced her comeback album, due out in September, seven years after her last release, 2017’s The Ride.
Maneater singer Nelly, whose set will be part of a special airing on September 14 on MTV, said: “I started going out again and I kept hearing my music being played and remixed by DJs.
“At the same time, my eldest daughter was showing me how the online community – including a whole new audience of Gen Z fans – were discovering and embracing my music 20 years later. I heard the calling.”
Rita puts Taylor in second
RITA ORA’S latest acting role has gone down a storm.
Disney+ has revealed Descendants: The Rise Of Red, in which the singer and actress, right, plays the Queen Of Hearts, has racked up a staggering 6.7million views in its first three days.
The feat means Rita’s flick is the most-viewed premiere ever on the streaming service.
In comparison, earlier this year Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film had 4.6million views in three days on Disney+.
Impressive stuff
Renee gets winter blues
WE may be in the middle of a mini-heatwave, but Renee Zellweger is getting in the festive spirit.
The Hollywood actress wore a blue satin top and skirt as she filmed in a winter wonderland for the fourth Bridget Jones film in London this week.
Fake snow covered the 16th Century Spaniards Inn pub in Hampstead, North London, ahead of a night shoot, which didn’t wind up until 5am.
During filming, she was seen sheltering under an umbrella from the artificial snow as she enjoyed a break with co-star Nico Parker, who is the daughter of Thandiwe Newton.
And while Bridget’s love life is all over the place, Renee proved she has had more luck as she was supported by her boyfriend, British TV host Ant Anstead.
The film, titled Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, won’t be out until next year but I’m already excited to see it.
Danny feared Robbie duet would be Dyer
DANNY Dyer has admitted he was terrified about his surprise appearance with Robbie Williams at BST Hyde Park earlier this month after a disastrous rehearsal.
He joined the Angels singer on stage to cover Blur’s Parklife and, on yesterday’s Chris Evans Virgin Radio show, Danny admitted: “I’m not a musical fella but if Robbie Williams asked me to come on and sing Parklife, I’m going to do it.
“It was petrifying, as I did the soundcheck in the morning and got it all wrong. It was sideways rain in me face.
“I’ve got the earpieces in, miss me cue. I left the stage and thought, ‘Oh, so the next time I do it in front of 65,000 people.’ I had a lot of fear.
“I just took me time. I got up there, believed in myself, believed in Robbie. And it was a beautiful experience.”
Proving he is a Jack of all trades, this afternoon Danny will host TalkSport Drive from 4pm to 7pm.
If I were you, Danny, I’d get Robbie on the line to spice up the show.
Madge reverts to type
I REVEALED last month that Madonna had restarted work on her big-screen biopic, 18 months after abandoning the plans.
Now she has confirmed my exclusive, by sharing photos on Instagram of her tapping away at a typewriter as she worked on the script.
I have an old laptop you can have if you can’t afford some modern tech, Madge.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed she also accidentally shared the title, revealing it has the preliminary name Who’s That Girl – despite the fact she already released a movie with that title back in 1987.
The screwball comedy was a bit of a flop at the box office, so fingers crossed this one fares better.
