Adele has apologised to a fan who suffered an injury after a prop fell on them during her Glasgow gig.

The singer was performing for a sell-out crowd of 13,000 at The SSE Hydro when a chain that was part of her stage production fell and struck the fan.

"I'm so sorry to hear that someone got hurt at my show tonight. It's being investigated to ensure it won't happen again," she tweeted shortly afterwards.

A spokesperson for the singer told the Daily Record: "A chain belonging to the production came down and hit one person who was taken to hospital as a precaution. We are liaising with the production crew to ascertain what happened. This is all we know at this stage."

At present, it is unknown whether the injuries suffered by the fan are serious or not.

Adele recently began her first world tour in five years at Belfast's SSE Arena. She is booked to play 22 dates across the UK and Ireland before heading into continental Europe and then North America.

During one of her recent shows at London's O2 Arena, she announced she will be headlining this year's Glastonbury Festival.
