An Adele Impersonator Nearly Upstaged Adele At Her Own Concert

It's all water under the bridge by now.

Rumour has it there's an Adele lookalike in town.

As Adele kicked off her Aussie tour in Perth on Tuesday night, one superfan was pulled on stage. Perth-based DJ and Adele impersonator Feminem -- "like Eminem but with an 'f'"-- got the chance of a lifetime to meet the star mid-concert.

"You look better than me, that's not allowed," Adele quipped as she posed for a selfie with Feminem.

The lookalike apparently turned down a gig in a men's choir that night to come to the Adele concert dressed as Adele. She wore a new $700 custom sequinned gown for the occasion -- very similar to the sparkly dress that the real Adele was wearing.

Feminem belted out a few lines from 'Rumour Has It' in front of a record-breaking 65,000 strong audience. Check out how it all unfolded in the video below:

The crowd adored Feminem's flawless performance and costume -- the drag star was even asked for selfies before and after the show. Because if you can't get a pic with the real Adele, Feminem comes in a very close second.

My planned selfie with @Adele didn't quite happen. However this happened before the show and I'm kinda star struck! 🌟@djfeminempic.twitter.com/4Uso5UmC7e

The 'Hello' singer reportedly had fireworks planned for the stadium tour, but pulled the pyrotechnics at the last minute. The Sun reported that Adele's son, Angelo, was hit in the eye with flying debris during the rehearsal, prompting the singer to cancel all fireworks.

Adele's first Australian tour will head to Brisbane then Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne before going to New Zealand.

But will anybody be able to top this fan moment?

Can you tell I'm happy? @adele you were everything! #adele #adeleperth #feminem
