Adele, like millions of others, was captivated by the Titan submersible disaster this week, so much so that she briefly halted her concert to discuss it.
On June 22, U.S. authorities confirmed that OceanGate Expeditions' Titan tourist submarine, transporting five people, was destroyed in a "catastrophic implosion" while en route to the Titanic shipwreck.
Adele addressed the catastrophe during her residency performance at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on June 23, asking her audience of more than 4,000, "How crazy was that submersible story?"
As seen in a fan-shared TikTok video, she answered her own query. "Absolutely insane," she exclaimed. "It's so tragic."

The confirmation of the submersible's annihilation by the U.S. Coast Guard followed a five-day search that was extensively covered by news outlets worldwide, dominated social media discourse, and sparked much debate.
She said that her pals and her have been debating on their own group chat. Everyone is like, 'I would never do that," and this prompted Adele to wonder if anyone would She asked her audience how many people, if they could, would dive to the ocean floor to see the Titanic. She asked them to raise their hands. Countless individuals gave affirmative signals and applauded.

She was astounded so she asked for lights to be opened to see how many raised their hands. She exclaimed that the number of people whose hands were raised is an excellent proportion. She then inquired as to how many wouldn't choose to embark on such a journey, eliciting additional applause and a raised hand from her pianist.
Then, Adele asked her audience how many individuals would choose to voyage to space if they were able to do so for free. The responses were varied. She said she would not either because she's technically afraid of everything, and thereforehave no genuine interest in the deep sea or space.
Suleman Dawood, 19, his father and businessman Shahzada Dawood, billionaire and explorer Hamish Harding, 58, French oceanographer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, and the submersible's pilot and CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, 61, were the five victims of the Titanic sub implosion.
Not sure if this is a good topic given the sensitivity of the issue, but it can be remembered that Rikki Rockett, drummer for Poison, has criticized those who made "inhumane" remarks about the Titan submarine passengers, who were declared deceased by the U.S. Coast Guard as of June 22.
Since the Titan was declared missing on Sunday, social media has been in an uproar, particularly about Brian Szasz, whose stepfather, billionaire Hamish Harding, was one of the passengers. Monday night, Szasz attended a Blink-182 concert, claiming that the band's music helps him get through difficult times.
As a consequence of receiving a great deal of backlash on social media, including from the rapper Cardi B, he has since deleted his Twitter account.
The passengers, excluding OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, each paid approximately $250,000 to attend the expedition [according to CBS News], despite various concerns that experts had expressed regarding the vessel's capabilities and the risks associated with the trip.
