Adele decided to add four extra dates to her UK tour after an overwhelming demand for tickets saw touts re-selling them for as much as £1000.

A dozen new dates have been added including four performances at London’s O2 Arena and others in Manchester and Birmingham.

She also add new dates European cities including Zurih, Antwerp and Amsterdam after tickets sold out within minutes.

Despite the fact that she’ll be spending most of 2016 on the road, Adele has describes touring as a ‘lonely’ experience in the past.

She told The Times: “Performing to that many people for every night, for that long, I find something very lonely about it.

“Which sounds weird, because you’re performing for like, 20,000 people every night, but you leave on your own.

“You don’t go home and, like, share a bed with 20,000 people and have a little pyjama party and watch movies.”
