When Adele gave the world her award-winning album 25 last November she ensured it could only be accessed once a payment had been made.

But thankfully the songstress seems to have had a change of heart as – according to the BBC – 25 has finally been added in its entirety to Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Amazon Prime and Tidal.

Before now individual songs from the record-breaking album – which features Hello and When We Were Young – were available on streaming sites but this is the first time the full collection has been made available for free.

In the past the Grammy-winner said music streaming didn't appeal to her.

Last year she told TIME magazine: "I know that streaming music is the future, but it's not the only way to consume music."

"I can't pledge allegiance to something that I don't know how I feel about yet."

We're not sure if this is the start of a new trend for Adele, but at least we'll have 25 to listen to while we wait to find out.

Singer-songwriter Adele is well known for her emotional performances, but her concert in Belgium last night was particularly poignant as she struggled to fight back tears while speaking about yesterday's mass shooting in Orlando.

The Hello singer dedicated her entire performance to those killed when lone gunman Omar Mateen opened fire in popular gay nightclub Pulse in the early hours of Sunday morning, killing 50 and wounding 53.

She said: “I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night.”

“The LGBT community…they’re like my soulmates since I was really young,” she explained.

The Grammy-winner's voice wavered with emotion as she spoke and she eventually turned away from her audience and cried for a moment before composing herself and continuing her show.

Adele is one of a series of well-known faces – including Adam Lambert and JK Rowling – to voice their upset over the incident.

Last night’s Tony Awards ceremony was also devoted to those who lost loved ones in the attack, with host James Corden paying tribute to those who died in his opening speech.

Adele is known to put on a good show, no matter where she goes, but we are loving her latest little performance more than ever.

While doing a show in Netherlands, Adele took a break from singing to chat to the crowd, when one of her fans calls out: "Spice Girls."

"Oh stop it, I'm not a Spice Girl," the singer laughs before she breaks out into a little boogie and sings Spice Up Your Life:

We need her as our BFF.

As well as being known for her incredible vocals and super slick songwriting skills, Adele is also revered for having a pretty glorious sense of humour, but it looks like even this Londoner has her limits.

Proving that she's no walkover during a recent gig in Verona this weekend, the When We Were Young singer called out a member of the audience for filming her entire performance.

And by the sounds of Adele's no-holds-barred venting session from the stage,. it wasn't a sneaky clip on her iPhone that the lady in question was going for either.

In a moment which another member of the audience (ironically) caught on camera, Adele can be heard saying: "I want to tell that lady as well, can you stop filming me with the video camera because I'm really here in real life."

"You can enjoy it in real life rather than through a camera. Can you take your tripod down?<" she asked before continuing "This isn't a DVD, this is a real show."

Reminding her fan how fortunate she was to be there in person, Adele finished the on-stage venting session by saying: "I would really like you to enjoy my show because there are lots of people outside who couldn't come in."

Getting a bo**ocking from Adele – can you think of anything worse?

She may have been linked to one of the biggest deals in music history, but that doesn't mean Adele doesn't eff up from time to time.

And, unsurprisingly, it only makes us love her even more. (If that's even possible.)

While performing in Lisbon this week, the multi-award winning singer experienced a major on-stage malfunction, but she OWNED it like the pro that she is. (Obvs.)

While giving it socks to A Million Years Ago, the 27-year-old Londoner realised she had gone majorly off-track, guffawing: "Sh*t, wrong words. Sh*t, Sh*t!"

Breaking into peals of laughter, her fans cheered her on as she cursed and explained that she accidentally sang the verse instead of the chorus.

Oh, could we love her any more?!

Last week, Adele teased a video for her track Send My Love (To Your New Lover) and her fans went into absolute meltdown.

The sneak peek was good enough (and mesmerising enough), yet the full version is just too cool to handle.

She debuted the full vid at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, and since then we can't stop watching it.

Check it out here (you won't be able to sit still):

It sounds like life couldn’t get any better for Adele right now.

According to emerging reports, the When We Were Young singer is about to make history by signing a deal with Sony Music for a whopping £90 million.

The deal, which is said to be the biggest in history for a British musician, has Sony bosses falling all over themselves this week, with a source confirming: “We’ve secured Adele who’s without a doubt the biggest music star in a generation. This is massive.”

According to The Guardian, the news comes after the Londoner’s deal with her original label, XL, expired.

“The deal is being worked on by our Colombia label in the US, but is worth £90 million and gives the rights to release her future music exclusively around the world,” added the insider.

If the reports are indeed true, this will mark the biggest deal for a female artist in history.

Go on, Adele!

When Adele burst back onto the music scene late last year, the industry braced themselves for hit after hit, and after two absolute belters, fans can now prepare themselves for the next one.

After the runaway success enjoyed by Hello and the absolute stomper that was When We Were Young, Adele's loyal followers have been only dying to know which single is next to be released from the star's highly-anticipated third album.

Well, it looks like the wait is now over, with the singer herself taking to Twitter to reveal all to eager fans and music-lovers this afternoon.

Uploading a 16-second video which has clocked up more than 12,000 likes in an hour, the 27-year-old performer finally took the mystery out of her upcoming release, and reminded fans just how many absolute belters 25 actually has.

You can see it in all its glory at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 22nd, but until then just check this out!

Not only has she penned some of the most incredible tracks of the last ten years, won oodles of awards and broken numerous music records, Adele also looks like she'd be some serious craic.

Night on the tiles or night in front of the box, everyone knows you'd be guaranteed major bants with Adele which is why we've always considered her our secret BFF. 

Yes, we may have yet to meet her, and yes she definitely doesn't know we even exist, but it doesn't matter 'cos we're still total best friends…you know…deep down in our hearts?

Here are just ten times we knew Adele would slay as our BFF IRL.

1. That time she laid on some tough love after we took our dumbass ex back.

"We've made our bed now, ey Adele?"

2. That time she explained her snarky text to us, and we couldn't be mad for long.

"I'd have been angry too, boo." 

3. That time she got real about her failed relationship, and made us feel better about ours.

"Oh my God, us too!"

4. That time she gave the perfect response to our latest drama.

"Aw thanks! You've got our back, don't you Ad?"

5. That time she knew our co-worker was definitely in the wrong this time.

"I know! That's what we thought!"

6. When she FINALLY told us what happened on THAT night out.

"Oh my God, we knew it!"

7. That time she had the BEST reaction to the joke we told in front of our crush.

"Perfect!"

8. That time she hung on our every word about last night's no-pants-dance.

"Omg, more!"

9. That time we compared ourselves to her and she was having none of it.

"Shaaaaadup!"

10. That time she said exactly what we wanted to hear on a classic hangover Sunday.

"Same!"

Happy Birthday secret BFF, we love you!

Adele might seem like the kind of down-to-earth gal you could share a few (dozen) vinos with, but it seems her mere presence can make even established actors go 'a little loopy'.

Appearing on Ellen this week, Rules of Engagement star, David Spade, shared a story which has us cringing all over ourselves today.

In a move which wouldn't be dissimilar to one we'd have pulled, ol' Dave decided to go for an impromptu (and drunk) meet-and-greet after spotting the British singer in a restaurant.

Bonkers on 'a little loud-mouth soup', Dave proceeded to make a holy show of himself in front of the Someone Like You singer and her crew.

We'll let him tell it in his own words, so kick it off at the 3.35 mark.

Reports surrounding an upcoming biopic which is set to tell the story of Adele's journey to mega-stardom have been really doing the rounds this week.

And according to Vogue, it looks like Adele has finally decided to weigh in and have her say on the matter.

Addressing claims that Bridesmaids star, Rebel Wilson, is set to portray the Someone Like You singer in a potential future flick, Adele told London audiences she would definitely have the final say on that particular situation.

Commenting on the rumours that the Aussie star will be wowing audiences with her portrayal of the Tottenham-native, the 27-year-old award-winning performer joked that Hollywood honchos would need the all-clear from her before any film hits the silver screen.

"They need my f***ing permission," she announced. "I've heard there are rumours about Rebel Wilson playing me in a movie – let's see if that turns out to be true."

In classic Adele style, the singer took no prisoners when giving her thoughts on the topic, joking: "Just because I'm plus-sized doesn't mean she's playing me."

Looks like it's still a case of rumour has it…

We might know her for her wacky role in Bridesmaids and her comedic timing in Pitch Perfect, but it seems Rebel Wilson is only dying to get her teeth into a meatier role, and it looks like she'll be channelling her inner Adele to do it.

According to emerging reports, the 36-year-old Aussie is set to play the Someone Like You singer in an upcoming biopic, and is on the edge of her seat until everyone's favourite Londoner grants the actress her blessing.

Giving an insight into Rebel's dream career path, a source close to the star told the Daily Star: "Rebel has always wanted to prove she can cut it as a serious actress. She knows that she can’t go on playing wacky fatgirl roles forever."

"She thinks that this role could be the making of her career and transform her into a major movie star," they continued. "This is going to be a huge challenge for her because Adele is a legend at the peak of her popularity."

While we all know Rebel can hold a note or two. Adele's loyal fans will need to know the actress can do their idol justice in the rags to riches story – something which Rebel reportedly insists won't be a problem.

Speaking on behalf of the actress, the insider continued: "Rebel can’t match Adele’s vocal talents but she can certainly sing. And with a little technical wizardry, she’ll sound just like her in the movie."

Rebel as Adele? We could get on board….
