Adele has set a new record of expletives spoken during one of her concerts, dropping 56 swear words on the first night of her 'Finale' gigs at London's Wembley Stadium.

The star uttered 44 "f***s", seven "shits" and a "bastard" in front of an audience of 98,000, according to The Sun.

There was also reportedly an "arse", "p***", "d***" and t**s".

Adele's previous swearing record was 33, set at Glastonbury Festival in 2016.

The singer also told the crowd about one of her Auckland concerts, at which a swarm of insects waged war against her.

"My stage was invaded by bugs I have never seen in my f***ing life. One bastard got into my boot and was sucking on my blood," she said.

Adele also confirmed in a speech that her four-night run at the London stadium will be her last shows.

"Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn't suit me particularly well. I'm a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things," a handwritten note included in fans souvenir programmes said.

"I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favourite artist have had on me live."

💌😢😭✒❤Photo by Traci @tracii_m Translation by @wannabeadkins Adele @Adele's letter from her your book! "So this is it after 15 months on the road and 18 months of 25 we are at the end. We have taken this tour across uk+ Ireland, throughout Europe, all over America and I finally got to go to Australia and New Zealand too. Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn't suit me particularly well. I'm a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I'm dramatic and have a terrible history of touring. Until now that is! I've done 119 shows and these last 4 will take me up to 123, it has been hard out an absolute thrill and pleasure to have done. I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favourite artist have had on me live. And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don't know if I'll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home. Thank you for coming, for all of your ridiculous love and kindness. I will remember all of this for the rest of my life. Love you. Goodnight for now" ❤️Adele #Adele #Adelettes #AdeleLive2017
