Adele began to get emotional when talking about her teacher McDonald, who taught her the subject of English, (Language and Literature in Spain) for a year.

“She left when I was in eighth grade. She was only there for a year, but it made me love literature. I’ve always been obsessed with English and obviously now I write my lyrics. But she also did street dancing, and it was so fucking cool “, he counted to the present assistants. She went on to rave about her childhood teacher: “She was so amazing. She made us care and we knew she cared about us. She used to wear a lot of gold bracelets and wore sequins. So fucking cool. You could relate to she and I really lived waiting for the English classes to come. “

At that moment, Thomson, followed the singer’s roll and anticipated the moment of the night: “It is quite strange, in fact it is funny …” And Adele when looking at the stage could not believe the surprise: Miss McDonald was there among those present. “Is he here? He’s here tonight!” She said excitedly as she watched her go up on stage.

“I didn’t know you were coming”

After this warm reunion, Adele asked her teacher about her life, if she continued teaching. “You are as always,” he repeated. McDonald told him that at that time he was dedicated to taking care of his children, who were also there enjoying the concert. “Don’t cry, thank you, thank you very much for remembering me,” McDonald would say. “No, really, you changed my life,” Adele said. “Mom, can you believe this,” she expressed incredulous and asked the teacher to resume contact.

“How are you? I have not seen you since I was 12 years old. Do you have children?” The singer asked nervously and McDonald summarized her life. “OMG I’m super happy you’re here.” They then said goodbye with a big hug: “Bye, Miss,” Adele said. “Goodbye darling,” the teacher replied. “I have all the books from when you taught me.
