Adele at the BBC doesn’t yet have an air date, but the BBC is billing it as her first live performance since 2013, putting it ahead of her scheduled appearance on Saturday Night Live on November 21.
According to the BBC, Norton thinks that the concert will be the “music event of the year.”
“This opportunity to spend an hour with Adele, her music, and her stories is a truly rare treat,” he said. “If I wasn’t hosting this special, I’d be sat at home watching it.”
Adele said that she is equally excited about the special.
“I can’t wait. Graham and I get on great, so it’s going to be a laugh.”
Adele’s most recent single “Hello” did a number on the Internet, and the Adele news (and requisite memes) has been coming steady ever since. She recently admitted that she considered quitting music after 21 in order to go out while she was on top, but decided that she would rather her son be aware of her career.
