Adele to Play 2 MA Shows in 2016 Tour

By Marc Torrence (Patch National Staff)

Fresh off of the release of her latest album “25,” which featured the hit single “Hello,” English singer-songwriter Adele announced a 2016 North American tour that features dates in Canada, Mexico and all across the United States.

The tour was announced Monday, the day that her first full live concert in more than four years, Adele Live in New York City, was scheduled to air on NBC at 10 p.m. ET.

The 27-year-old said in a November interview with Rolling Stone that she would give herself until Christmas to decide whether she would tour or not.

“When I’ve sat down and thought, ‘What can I do to bring something new to the table?’ It was just like, ‘Tour.’ Because I haven’t done it properly,” she said.
