Since Adele dropped comeback single ‘Hello’ on the world two weeks ago, fans have been hotly anticipating her first performance of the track, but the wait is finally over.
A preview clip from the singer’s TV special ‘Adele At The BBC’ shows her singing the number one smash live for the very first time - and it’s as glorious as we’d expected.
Dressed in an embellished frock that isn’t black (shocker!), Adele delivers an emotional - and obviously pitch perfect - rendition of the song.

Adele performs 'Hello' for the first time
During the one-hour special, which was recorded on Monday (2 November), Adele also sits down to chat to Graham Norton.
She spills the beans on her time away from the music industry and about recording her forthcoming album ‘25’.
Speaking about her return, she says: "It was that thing of, do I or don't I want to go back to my music.
"Obviously I do, and I just wanted to make sure that everything was in place for me to do it so I could do it properly.
"I can't do anything else, this is all that I like doing."
‘Adele At The BBC’ airs on Friday 20 November at 8.30pm on BBC One.

If ‘19’ and ‘21’ were break-up records, this is (in her words) Adele’s ‘make-up’ album. She’s in a very different place since she released the 30 million-selling ‘21’ in 2011. Four years on and she’s given birth to her son Angelo and hibernated to spend plenty of QT with him and her partner (and Angelo’s dad), Simon Konecki. So there’s been no heartbreak (as far as we know) but plenty of growing up, as Adele so beautifully put in her open letter to fans, which she shared on social media on 21 October...
Has anyone heard the entire album yet?(04 of04)

Well Adele most certainly has. And a select few senior record company peeps, but that’s pretty much it. No one wants to risk what is going to be the biggest album of the next few years leaking, so security around this release is tighter than Amanda Holden’s forehead. Even Adele’s famous mates haven’t heard it, although Ed Sheeran recently claimed he knew friends who had and they were ‘really complimentary’. The same can’t be said for Damon Albarn. The Blur frontman worked on five tracks for the album at Adele’s request, none of which have reportedly made the final cut. He later described what he had heard as ‘very middle of the road’.
