In a video clip posted earlier today (26 November) Adele revealed details of her surprise tour, telling fans: “I’ve been bluffing this whole time and I’m so relieved that I can finally tell you that I am of course going on tour, and I can’t wait to see you all there”.

But there’s still hope for streaming. “I’m certainly not one for spicing things up”.
