Adele asked fans whether they'd travel on the OceanGate submarine to see the Titanic wreckage. On Friday (23 June), the 'Easy on Me' singer paused her Vegas residency to hold a vote on the matter. She acknowledged that last week's incident was "so sad and so tragic" before adding that she and her friends had been debating whether they would have gone on the sub.

But that’s a lie, cause a lot of people would do that," "I want to do a vote, not in mind of what happened, cause that was so sad and so tragic, but before this week, how many people would, if they could, would go down to the very, very bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic? Raise your hands." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Adele went on to offer her take, saying: "I wouldn’t do it either, but only because I’m a bit of a p***y.
