After taking the music industry by storm yet again with “Hello,” Adele performed the single for the first time in a clip from her special Adele At The BBC. The lead single from her forthcoming third album 25 amassed nearly 300M views on YouTube and Vevo as well as 109M streams on Spotify (so far). Her BBC special also includes an interview with Graham Norton where he asks her about her time off and inspiration for the new album.
Speaking of following up 19 and 21‘s success, Adele was unsure whether she could live up to them with a third record.
It was that thing of ‘Do I or don’t I wanna go back to my music?’ Obviously I do and I just wanted to make sure everything was in place so that I could do it properly. I can’t do anything else. This is all that I like doing.
Graham Norton also played a round of “Rumour Has It,” giving Adele the chance to clear up any gossip. She admits to not having access to her Twitter account anymore based off some early drunken tweets. The full interview and performance will air on the BBC on November 20th.
Adele went on to perform “Hello” at the NRJ Awards in France. Watch that here.
