Adele said hello to the sold-out Madison Square Garden
crowd in New York City Tuesday night, before dedicating the second of
her six nights at the venue to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
A few songs into her show, the Grammy winner asked if she could “address the elephant in the room,” saying news of the Hollywood couple’s divorce
marks “the end of an era,” according to fans who posted on Twitter.
Playing “2 hours of misery,” as she put it, the British
singer-songwriter, whose 2011 album 21 was
largely about a personal breakup and the ensuing heartache, led the
audience “in a group Brangelina breakup therapy session,” said one
person on social media, adding, “Also, there are songs.”
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt Monday, citing irreconcilable
differences. She did not request spousal or child support, but did ask
for physical custody of the six children she shares with Pitt. The two married in August 2014.
