Celebrities, they’re just like us.
This weekend’s chance celebrity encounter was a great reminder of the power of reconnecting.
Songstress superstar Adele halted her Las Vegas set Saturday evening when she spotted her doctor in the audience. In fact, she stopped singing mid-“When We Were Young” to inform the audience this unexpected guest delivered her son.
