Adele is known for moving fans to tears with her music, but the Grammy award-winning singer shed some of her own after a surprise reunion with a former high school teacher.
The emotional moment happened during the British powerhouse's ITV concert special, "An Audience with Adele," which aired in the U.K. on Sunday night.
During the pre-recorded concert, the pop superstar took a question from Hollywood actress Emma Thompson, who asked whether there was anyone in her past who had supported her, inspired her or protected her from life's trials and tribulations.
In response, Adele opened up about the impact Ms. McDonald, her English teacher at Chestnut Grove Academy, had had on her.
The London-born singer shared: "I had a teacher at (south London high school) Chestnut Grove, who taught me English. That was Miss McDonald... She got me really into English literature. Like, I've always been obsessed with English and obviously now I write lyrics."
