It was the first of her ten highly anticipated performances.

And Adele's first concert in Munch on Friday was hit by some stumbling blocks after severe weather warnings were issued.

The superstar singer, 36 had to pause the show due to a fashion faux pas that she desperately needed to sort while still on stage. 

The singer wowed in a midnight blue floor length dress as she belted out her hits to the delight of adoring fans. 

The printed dress featured a huge train that billowed out to the side and across the floor and had been soaking up the water from the torrential rain during her performance, which caused Adele to momentarily stop the concert.

Addressing the crowd she said: 'Sadly I have to take this gorgeous train off because it is wet and heavy' before calling over to her backing singers 'Girls can you help me?'

Making sure she continued to entertain the crowd she said: 'At least it's not thundering and lightening. Jesus! 

'I got a weather update and it said it wasn't gonna be raining in time for the show, so I thought: "Let me wear this dress with this enormous train on it" like a right f***y. I was underneath the stage back there.'

As her backing singers got to work pulling the train away from the dress, Adele added: 'I can hear you all by the way. You lot in the corner over here on this side, you're a real vibe but then you had me shook cos one of you was like "We can see you under there" and I'm standing in my underwear!

'Anyway I'm gonna go into another song for you, this dress is quite complicated.'

As her singers walked off to the side of the stage carrying the garment, Adele shouted after them: 'Thanks girls - look at it dripping!'  

It comes after fans were warned by weather experts about fierce thunderstorms and concert organiser's announced emergency plans.

The German Weather Service (DWD) issued a severe weather warning which stated: 'Individual thunderstorms are approaching from the west. There will be gusts of wind with speeds around 60 km/h (17 m/s)'.

It continued that the potential for lightning to strike presented a serious danger to life, and urged fans to avoid staying outdoors - which is exactly what attending a concert like this would mean. 

The weather threat was so severe that fans were being advised to seek shelter in buildings and prepare for the worst.

Further recommendations for action included securing loose objects and avoiding large bodies of water.

But although the darkening skies over Munich remain unpredictable, fans were overwhelmingly excited about the concert taking place.

Some did admit to feeling uneasy, especially given that even Adele had to cancel her final dress rehearsal yesterday due to intense lightning and severe storms.

Meanwhile the star, who is known for keeping it candid, was open about her nerves for the show as shared a behind the scene snap admitting she is 'bl****y s******g herself' ahead of the performance. 

The snap was projected onto the screens at the stadium as she teased fans just over two hours before she was due to appear on stage at 7:30pm. 

With her makeup complete, Adele pouted in the image as she sat with her hair in rollers while holding a handwritten sign which read: 'See you soon! I'm bl***y s*****g myself' alongside a smiley face.

As part of the experience there is an exhibition centre, named 'Adele World' - the size of almost 60 football pitches - which features a Ferris wheel, a beer garden, and a variety of food trucks, as well as a wine bar named after Adele's song 'I Drink Wine'

As well as being on high-alert, fans of the British singer were also forced to shell out outrageous amounts of dosh - including £5 for water, £135 for a 1.5 litre bottle of wine and £169 for a cushion cover.

Meanwhile the severe weather warning has prompted the event organisers to announce an emergency plan.

An official statement revealed: 'Should the worst-case scenario of a concert cancellation occur, a 'safe room' is available for all visitors, which can be accessed quickly but calmly as instructed.'

These emergency shelters are located on the neighbouring exhibition grounds in Riem and are intended to provide refuge from the severe weather.

Security staff are said too be on high alert and ready to guide fans to safety if the situation becomes too hazardous.

But the organisers stressed that there is a strict ban on umbrellas at the venue, leaving fans with no choice but to bring ponchos for protection.

In addition to these announcements, the Munich city authority issued urgent warnings, urging fans to stay informed and take appropriate precautions.
