Adele posts video on Facebook announcing European tour

The all-Adele-all-the-time juggernaut moves forward, as the superstar chanteuse took to Facebook Thursday to announce her first tour in years.

The tour will start Feb. 29 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and will include a string of dates through June in Britain and Europe, all to help support her record-breaking hit album, 25.

She plans to hit Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, France and Belgium.

The goofy video she posted, full of starts and stops as Adele kept messing up her lines as she stood in front of a wall-sized map of Europe, suggested that the 27-year-old with the gorgeous big voice is still a bit of a kooky kid under her sophisticated sheen.

Adele has said before that she isn't that fond of touring because it's lonely. But she seemed up for this one, her first since 2011.

"I'm relieved to finally tell you I am of course coming on tour and I can't wait to see all of you there," she gushed in the video.

In the unlikely event that you haven't heard, 25 has been a smash seller, with a record 2.4 million copies flying out of stores and online baskets in its first four days in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. In Britain, it sold 737,000 copies in its first week.

The first single, Hello, is a hit on both sides of the Atlantic.

Adele declined to make her album available through music-streaming services, including Apple Music and Spotify, forcing listeners to buy it either digitally and at stores.

It can be heard via U.S.-based online radio company Pandora Music Inc., which announced this week that it was playing all the songs on 25. Pandora is not an on-demand service, though, so listeners can't choose which tracks they hear.

But there's still hope for streaming. When she was interviewed on the Today show Wednesday morning, she was asked if she might change her mind.

“Yeah, probably," she said. "I’m certainly not one for spicing things up. I’m just doing what I’ve always done. And Hello is out there because it’s on the radio.”
