Right, first up, if you have a ticket for one of Adele's two Dublin gigs, count yourself very, very lucky.

The roughly 45,000 tickets for the 3Arena gigs tonight (March 4) and tomorrow (March 5) sold out in minutes when they went on sale back in December.

MCD have released some important information ahead of the concerts, which we heartily suggest throwing your eyes over before heading to the 3Arena. After beating the odds and nabbing a ticket, it'd be pretty upsetting to miss out on the gig because of a mix-up with times or dates.

The main thing to make note of is that Adele's show kicks off at 8pm sharp, with no support act. Doors at the 3Arena will be open from 6.30pm, and give yourself plenty of time to get there, especially if you'll be battling Friday traffic this evening.

Secondly, anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and the standing area is for over 14s only. Good to know if you're bringing along younger kids.

After her Dublin gigs, Adele is headed for Manchester, London, Glasgow and Birmingham, before spending May and June touring the rest of Europe.

See you there!

After four years out of the spotlight, Adele came back with more than a bang late last year – she had a whole new album, a new and more sophisticated look and the promise of a 2016 tour.

The singer appears on the cover of the March issue of US Vogue, and it's clear just how much she's grown up since the days of Hometown Glory and Rolling In The Deep.

"I think I had to take the right amount of time off to let people miss me," she says of her  extended hiatus.

Now a mum to three-year-old Angelo with her long-time boyfriend Simon Konecki, Adele says her whole perspective on life has changed.

"I can’t have any other junk in my head to worry about as well," she says, speaking about how parenthood has altered her outlook.

Angelo "makes me very proud of myself," she adds. "When I became a parent, I felt like I was truly living. I had a purpose, where before I didn’t."

After launching her career in her late teens with 19, Adele's had eight years as a high-profile celeb, and she says she's finally getting comfortable in her own skin.

"Actually I like myself more than ever. I really like how I look, I like who I am, I like everyone that I surround myself with.

"Obviously I have insecurities," she says – mentioning her "bum chin," her "intense" forehead, and her "potato" fingers – "but they don't hold me back."

Despite wearing a stunning array of Edrem, Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Salvatore Ferragamo pieces for the Vogue shoot, Adele says she's usually found in far less glamorous outfits.

"I don’t go out like this. I look like a bedraggled mother; I look like anyone else," she admits.

"When I’m with my kid I’m in leggings and a jumper and a pair of Converse because the grubby little hands are going to mark anything nice."

If there's one thing we can't imagine Adele as, it's "bedraggled"…

When Adele's album 21 came out back in 2011, we all listened to Someone Like You and had a bit of a sob.

Whether you've had your heart broken, wondered 'what if' about an ex, or just fancied someone who didn't feel the same, there's no way you can listen to Adele's biggest hit without welling up.

Now, the singer is back on the airwaves (and in our hearts) with a brand new album and a heap of downright amazing singles – and her return to music stirred up a few memories for one Irish fan.

Stephanie Pope, from Derry, penned an amazing letter to Adele via Facebook last night, recalling how Someone Like You helped her get over a particularly crappy guy.

"I had just split up with my 2 timing, lying, cheating dirt bag of a fiancée 2 weeks previous when you sang at the Brit Awards" she writes.

"I still lived with the p**** and went on a 'f*** you and your secret love child' night out with my mates. I had got pissed as a newt in an hour!"

Stephanie then goes on to explain how she "stumbled" home and started belting out Someone Like You in her living room, much to the disgust of her love rat fiancé.

Here's the letter in full, because you NEED to read it all – it has a happy ending, we promise:

Since it was posted last night, Stephanie's letter has over 36,000 likes… and counting.

There hasn't been a response from Adele yet, but there's no way she could read this without smiling, we reckon.

If you were hoping for another Someone Like You-style ballad on Adele's new album, you're probably going to be out of luck.

The singer revealed on Facebook today that her upcoming record, 25, will be more of a "make-up" than a "break-up" album.

With no Twitter account to speak of these days, this is the first time Adele has made contact via social media in over two years, aside from one post about World Water Day seven months ago. 

Introducing her open letter with a sheepish "Hello…" the singer went on to set the record straight on what fans could expect with 25 – and why it had taken her so long to make.

"My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record,” she wrote.

"I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did.

"Turning 25 was a turning point for me, slap bang in the middle of my twenties.

"Teetering on the edge of being an old adolescent and a fully-fledged adult, I made the decision to go into becoming who I’m going to be forever without a removal van full of my old junk."

Last Sunday, viewers of The X Factor were treated to a 30-second snippet of one of the album's tracks during a commercial break – and if these tweets are anything to go by people are VERY excited:

Now mum to a three-year-old and in a long-term relationship with Simon Konecki. there's no doubt Adele's life has changed significantly since she wrote 21.

"I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened," she says of the four-year wait for her new album.

Back in 2011 Adele wowed the music industry with her second album, 21.

It ended up being the most commercially successful album worldwide over the last decade, but all has been quiet for the singer since…until now.

The mum-of-one is ready for her comeback, with a new album aptly titled 25. The brand new recordings will be released this November, and there are some extremely talented producers already on board from collaborations.

Max Martin, the producing mastermind behind Taylor Swift's Shake It Off and Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl, is reportedly on board, as well as Danger Mouse, who forms one half of Gnarls Barkley with CeeLo Green.

Adele first teased her new album in May 2014, on the eve of her 26th birthday. "Bye bye 25…See you again later in the year x" she wrote alongside a picture of herself looking relaxed in bed.

According to some sources, the singer was set for a surprise Beyoncé-style album drop last year, but decided to return to the studio to perfect the tracks rather than rush things.

"It was complete but she was worried it wouldn’t be as good as 21 and went back into the studio a few times,” a source told Mirror Celeb recently.

"She wanted to release it as a surprise like Beyonce quite a few months ago but it wasn’t ready. She decided to re-write some of the material but it’s now done and will hopefully be released later this year."

While we have yet to hear so much as a leaked track from the new album, singer Ed Sheeran ad already given it his seal of approval… kinda.

"I haven’t heard [the record], but everyone I know who’ve worked on it is just like, ‘Dude… that record!’ Apparently it’s really good," Ed told Capital FM.

We cannot WAIT to see what Adele has in store.
