Adele reportedly refused to pay £75 to land her helicopter at a hotel. The 23-year-old Someone Like You singer’s team apparently deemed the fee to use the helipad in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, “too expensive” and decided to take their business elsewhere.
Peter Hands, who runs the Speech House Hotel near Cinderford, told the Daily Mail newspaper, “We had a call last Sunday morning asking if her helicopter could land on our helipad by the hotel and how much it would cost. When I told him there was a standard £75 fee he said that was too much. They also asked about arranging a taxi to take her to Mitcheldean for 10am. It was a mystery as to what she was doing in the Forest.”
The Grammy Award-winning artist is believed to have had a helipad installed at her Sussex mansion to help her commute to London.
