Adele makes a rare appearance to watch Justin Bieber's Coachella set

Adele made a rare public appearance to watch Justin Bieber's Coachella set with her son Angelo this weekend.

The singer, 37, cut a low-key figure as she walked around the festival in a relaxed black suit.

She added ballet flats to her look and accessorised with statement gold earrings while heading to watch Justin on the main stage as he headlined Saturday night.

Adele shares Angelo, 13, with her ex-husband Simon Konecki who she got divorced from back in 2021.

The star wasn't joined by her sports agent partner Rich Paul, 45, in Palm Springs for the festival.

Adele was last pictured with her partner Rich when they attended multiple NBA games in Los Angeles last year.

They have been romantically linked since they went public with their relationship in July 2021 at an NBA game. 

In August 2024, Adele confirmed that she and Paul were engaged during her concert in Munich, Germany at the time. 

In fan-taken footage, one of Adele's fans held up a sign that read: 'Will you marry me?' 

After noticing the proposal, Adele politely declined and said: 'I can't marry you because I'm already getting married so I can't, but I appreciate it. Thank you!'

Justin Bieber's hotly anticipated comeback at Coachella fell flat with many of his fans as he performed his set in a hoodie and streamed songs from his laptop.

Festival goers were so excited to see the headliner perform that the whole event had been dubbed 'Bieberchella' among fans, who couldn't wait to see his stage return.

However, rather than returning with a bang, the star left some of his fans disappointed as they branded the performance 'lazy', with debate centered on his unconventional staging and focus on new music.

In stark contrast, the Day 1 headliner - Sabrina Carpenter - had served up a polished performance with several outfit changes and impressive staging.

Ahead of the event, many had shared their desperation to hear Bieber play some of his old hits, but these were only heard in snippets as he sang along to YouTube clips.

The 32-year-old pop act has appeared as a surprise guest artist four times at the festival in support of Ariana Grande, Chance the Rapper, Daniel Caesar and Tems.

But on a late-night set on Day 2 of this year's festival, he made his debut at the top of the bill, delivering a set for which he was reportedly paid $10million.

'I cannot imagine paying thousands of dollars to watch Justin Bieber sound a mess and walk around in a hoodie and glasses. This is insulting to his fans,' fumed one fan.

Others wrote: 'I hate the outfit sucks band and the low rent hip hop,' and: 'Justin Bieber got paid 10 million just to walk around this damn stage??'

'That's what happens when you sell your catalog and you're only left with your last album that nobody knows,' theorized another viewer.

Another saw a 'night and day difference' between his low-key set and the high-energy extravaganza offered up by Sabrina Carpenter the previous night.

'Sorry biebs but it snot giving,' one fan said gently, while another reacted more scathingly: 'justin rlly up there headlining coachella w/ just a mic & his macbook??'

Some even branded his show 'the worst in the festival's history', while others questioned why he'd been paid such an eye-watering amount, and called for a production on par with previous headliners.
