Adele’s last album, titled 30, was released in 2021. It sold nearly 1.8 million copies in the US alone, and was nominated for 6 Grammy awards the next year.
British pop star Adele recently recounted an interesting incident where she
had an encounter with a fan little too passionate for her liking – and that too
when the fan’s passion was all misplaced. Adele was performing at a concert
when a fan approached the singer, exclaiming with great enthusiasm, “I gotta
show you my tattoo that I got of your lyrics.”
I didn’t write that f****in song, Adele told her fan
The singer’s surprise turned into a shock when she actually read the words
inscribed on the tattoo – they were the lyrics to the song Make You Feel My
Love a song Adele had not originally written, but had only covered. Adele
recalled thinking to herself, “I didn’t write that f***in song!.” The Rolling in
the Deep singer, however, was more polite in her response as she simply told
the fan, “Bob Dylan wrote the song.”
Adele tells the story of a fan showing her a tattoo he got
of the lyrics to “Make You Feel My Love”:
“He’s like, ‘I gotta show you my tattoo that I got of your
lyrics.’ […] It was the lyrics to ‘Make You Feel My Love’ — I
didn’t write that f**king song!”
Adele had covered the song in 2008, for her debut album 19. The song was
originally written by Bob Dylan who had released it as a part of his 1997
album Time Out of Mind. Strangely, the song had gained much more
popularity with Adele’s cover, than it had with Dylan’s original 11 years ago.
The above-stated incident only underlines the candour in Adele’s public
appearances, and how it adds to the soprano pop queen’s appeal.
Adele’s last album, titled 30, was released in 2021. It sold nearly 1.8 million
copies in the United States alone. It was nominated for 6 Grammy awards the
following year, winning the Best Pop Solo Performance for the song Easy On
Me. It has been reported that Adele’s next album will comprise recordings
from her concert residency titled Weekends with Adele, which began in
November 2022 and is tentatively scheduled to end in June 2024.
