Adele overcame her nerves at the weekend when she performed to thousands of festival-goers on the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury music festival.

The singer headlined Saturday night for the first time and told the crowd of 150,000 that they were ‘amazing’.

“Oh my God, this is the best moment of my life. Glastonbury means the world to me, I'm not even lying."

"I've always wanted to do this my whole life but I've been too scared.”

The singer also pulled 10-year-old Lyla up on stage for a selfie, after pointing at her in the audience and revealing that she’d been coming to the festival since she was the girl’s age.

The 28-year-old has previously admitted to suffering from panic attacks on stage because she worries about not being able to deliver.

She’d said that she wouldn’t ever do festivals because the thought of the huge crowds were intimidating and she felt that her music wouldn’t work at such events because it’s ‘too slow’.

It’s reported that her mum Penny was in the crowd too, having camped on-site to see her daughter perform at the prestigious event.

There was also a beautiful moment when the crowd came together to sing the hit ‘Someone Like You’.

Watch it below. Adele’s new single, ’Send My Love (To Your New Lover)', is out now which is from her new album '25'.
