Adele at Hyde Park: Singer Ruti part of star’s all-female line-up

Singer-songwriter Ruti says it’s “mind blowing” to be part of Adele’s all-female line-up for her Hyde Park gigs.

The Easy On Me singer has picked “artists that I’m obsessed with” to support her at her outdoor London gigs on 1 and 2 July.

Kacey Musgraves, Gabrielle and Mahalia are among the big names that will be joining Adele on the main stage.

And 22-year-old Ruti says she was on the Tube when she found out she’d be joining them.

“My agent took the call. And she was like: ‘Do you want to play the Adele show?,” Ruti tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.

“I screamed in Tottenham Court Road station and lots of people were staring at me.

“I don’t really know how to explain it when I think about it and talk about it, because it’s quite unbelievable for me.”

This isn’t Ruti’s first taste of the big time – as a teenager she won The Voice UK in 2018.

But she agrees the Adele gigs will be the biggest moment of her career.
