Since breaking out onto the scene, she has been gracing some of the biggest stages, won multiple Grammy awards, and has already had a very successful residency in Las Vegas.
Her most recent album is the critically acclaimed '30', but her career truly took off when she released her debut album, '19'.
The album title refers to the age she was when she wrote most of the songs and after the album debuted at number one on the British charts, a performance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) saw her gain massive traction with the American audience.
Her performance of 'Chasing Pavements' even earned her one of her first Grammys in 2009.

Since the song was such an influential part of her rise to stardom, you would think that she would be more than happy to keep performing the song.
Unfortunately for fans of this specific tune, if you are lucky enough to watch Adele perform, you shouldn't expect it as part of the setlist.
The singer is currently doing a month-long residency in a bespoke open-air arena in Munich, Germany, where she performs two nights a week. Her setlist is the longest she's ever had, with 22 songs forming part of the performance.
