Rolling in deep space! Adele got a private tour of NASA headquarters this week
The 28-year-old and a number of her crew were treated by Tim Peake, the astronaut who presented Adele with her Global Sucess Brit Award from space in February.
A source told the paper: 'A number of Adele’s crew went with her to hang out with Tim at the Space Center.
'They had just performed two gigs nearby and had a few days in between shows so they wanted to make the most of their time off.'
The insider claimed the superstar has purposely arranged her current Adele Live 2016 tour purposely 'so she could see a bit of the world rather than just turn up and leave hours after the performance'.
Crew: Backing singer Amanda Brown tweeted: 'Thank you everyone at @NASA and especially @astro_timpeake for an incredible day', along with a picture of a NASA landing pod
'She has been taking in lots of tourist attractions as she made her way round,' they said.

Her successes in 2013 saw her landed with a huge £6million tax bill, while she paid out £2million in 2012 and 2011.
