Grab the tissues, pop the prosecco and gather your friends for an emotional evening of power ballads: Adele’s concert film One Night Only is coming to Channel Seven.
WATCH: Adele teases new single Easy On Me
In the words of Lady Gaga: she’s talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before. Sure, Gaga was talking about Ryan Murphy. But the tirade of compliments applies to the one and only Adele, too.
As she prepares to drop her first new album in six years, 30, Adele will certainly not be going easy on our emotions this Sad Girl November.
In America they may be calling it Sad Girl Fall, but us Aussies are springing to life right now as the weather warms up. We might not be able to huddle under a blanket, drink a pumpkin spice latte and stare out the window as the snow falls and Adele hits the high notes – but we CAN sit on a beach and look dramatically across the horizon while we contemplate heartbreak.
And, later this week, we can also gather around the TV to watch Adele perform a two-hour concert special, with Channel Seven announcing it has secured the exclusive Australian premiere of Adele One Night Only.
Not only will Adele be serving up hit after hit from her classic Grammy Award-winning albums, she’ll also be performing songs from her fourth studio album 30.
The recently-released tracklist for the concert is already making us weepy, with classics like Hello, Skyfall and Someone Like You in the mix.
- Hello
- Easy On Me
- Skyfall
- I Drink Wine
- Someone Like You
- When We Were Young
- Make you Feel My Love
- Hold On
- Rolling In The Deep
- Love Is A Game
Alongside the music special – recently filmed in Los Angeles – will be an exclusive televised interview with Oprah Winfrey. Set to explore Adele’s album, meaning behind the music, life after divorce and raising her son, the interview will likely be another tear-jerker.
With the concert and interview due to air on CBS in the US today, we’re sure to find out some of the major bombshell moments ahead of time. But that won’t stop us from tuning in this weekend to experience the magical performance and dramatic interview for ourselves.
In recent interviews, Adele has revealed that much of the new album was written for her son Angelo.
“My son has a lot of questions. Really good questions, really innocent questions, that I just don’t have an answer for,” she revealed in an interview with Vogue.
“I just felt like I wanted to explain to him, through this record, when he’s in his twenties or thirties, who I am and why I voluntarily chose to dismantle his entire life in the pursuit of my own happiness. It made him really unhappy at times, and that’s a real wound for me that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to heal.”
In a recent Instagram post, Adele compared the record to a close friend, saying that working on the album has been her “ride or die” during “the most turbulent time in my life.”
“I’ve painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it,” she wrote, confirming we’ll all be weeping our way through the track list.
Adele’s new album 30 drops on November 19. The Adele One Night Only special is coming to Channel Seven and 7Plus on Sunday, November 21, at 7:00pm.
