Adele Announces 2016 Tour Dates with Goofy Video
Over the long weekend, Adele shared a silly video to announce her European tour for 25. “Hello, it’s me, Adele,” she said, breaking into a laugh at the idea of mimicking her hit single with such a basic greeting. After 20 seconds of bloopers, she made it through, pointing with a Harry Potter wand to all the countries she’ll visit.
The 36 shows are guaranteed to be huge; Adele’s return from her four-year absence has been met with rapturous enthusiasm. 25 was announced on Sunday to have sold 3.38 million copies in the U.S. in its first week, marking the biggest seven-day tally for any album since Nielsen started keeping track 24 years ago.
