Totally Viral/ Adele denies writing lyrics of song fan tattooed on his arm | Watch

British pop star Adele recently recounted an interesting incident where she had an encounter with a fan little too passionate for her liking - and that too when the fan’s passion was all misplaced. Adele was performing at a concert when a fan approached the singer, exclaiming with great enthusiasm, “I gotta show you my tattoo that I got of your lyrics.”

I didn't write that f****in song, Adele told her fan

The singer’s surprise turned into a shock when she actually read the words inscribed on the tattoo - they were the lyrics to the song Make You Feel My Love a song Adele had not originally written, but had only covered. Adele recalled thinking to herself, “I didn’t write that f***in song!.” The Rolling in the Deep singer, however, was more polite in her response as she simply told the fan, “Bob Dylan wrote the song.”

Adele had covered the song in 2008, for her debut album 19. The song was originally written by Bob Dylan who had released it as a part of his 1997 album Time Out of Mind. Strangely, the song had gained much more popularity with Adele’s cover, than it had with Dylan’s original 11 years ago.

Adele's last album 30 was nominated for 6 Grammies

A big part of Adele’s success and fan following also owes to the personal equation she shares with her fans and followers, especially during concerts. The above-stated incident only underlines the candour in Adele’s public appearances, and how it adds to the soprano pop queen’s appeal. 

Adele’s last album, titled 30, was released in 2021. It sold nearly 1.8 million copies in the United States alone. It was nominated for 6 Grammy awards the following year, winning the Best Pop Solo Performance for the song Easy On Me. It has been reported that Adele’s next album will comprise recordings from her concert residency titled Weekends with Adele, which began in November 2022 and is tentatively scheduled to end in June 2024.
