ADELE has announced a 2016 European tour.

The singer, who lives in Hove, revealed the news in a video on Facebook this afternoon.

It includes shows in London, Birmingham, Belfast, Manchester and Glasgow but none in Sussex so far.

It comes as her album 25, which features the number one single Hello, took over Oasis’ 18-year sales record and claimed a new chart victory.

The Oscar-winning Skyfall singer's third full-length record has sold 737,000 copies within its first week of release, surpassing Liam and Noel Gallagher's Britpop band, which held the record since 1997, according to the Official Charts Company.

Oasis continue to hold the sales record for the first three days with their third album, Be Here Now, which shifted 696,000 sales when it was released in August 1997.

25 - which Adele described as a "make up album" coming four years after her release 21 - is already a huge hit in America.

It has smashed sales records there, selling 2.8 million copies in the first five days, including 1.45 million digital sales, according to Nielsen Music.
