Global superstar Adele is set for a massive return to the stage after releasing her "one of the biggest of this decade" comeback album in September.
The 32-year-old singer has been busy creating music for a fourth album. But as well as ending her five-year recording hiatus, she plans a global comeback tour, which will be unveiled next year.
A source says concert promoters who own the O2 in London, among other venues, are eager to deal with the pop star exclusively.
They reveal: “It’s very early days but AEG and Live Nation are both making bids with mega-money advances to secure the deal exclusively. They know her comeback will be one of the biggest of this decade and is set to sell out within minutes.”
The tour backs a new album which had been expected in September. But manager Jonathan Dickens confirmed this week it was delayed, saying only: “It’ll be ready when it’s ready.”
If the tour goes ahead as planned, Adele could rake in £100 million on ticket sales alone, based on earnings from her 16 months on the road that ended in June 2017.
Newly uncovered figures show she made £70 million from tickets for the 121 gigs on her Adele Live tour, and £142 million overall.
The source explains: “Ticket income is boosted by royalties from merchandise and VIP and hospitality packages.”
Adele once confessed to fans at a gig in March, 2017: “Touring isn’t something I’m good at. Applause makes me feel vulnerable. The only reason I’ve toured is you.”
The star is said to be keen to return to London’s Wembley stadium – where she had to cancel her final two 2017 dates due to vocal cord damage.
She once told fans: “I wanted my final shows in London - I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again.”
