Adele delights her fans with the release of a stunning new video for her latest single, Hello.
In the black and white film, which stars 90210's Tristan Wilds, she can be seen entering the house of her past and removing the covers from her furniture in a nostalgic setting.
The release comes as Twitter goes wild for her single, after the first play emerged on Nick Grimshaw's Radio One breakfast show on Friday morning.
Earlier in the day, Adele told Nick the song was about missing her friends from the past and wanting to let them know.
She said: 'It's not just about relationships with my exes, it's friendships as well. I'm so fond of every part of my life, good and bad, because it's made me who I am.'
'I was singing to everyone I loved. I needed them to hear it.' Twitter was awash with praise for the singer following the first full listen of her single. One post read: 'Just had to turn up the heating in the car because of the goosebumps,' while another wrote: 'I don't want my emotions back anymore.' While most people loved the song, not everyone was a fan.
One user said: 'This new Adele song better not be overplayed on the radio.'

The London-born singer, 27, whose new single, Hello was teased as a clip during the X Factor on Sunday, said she was worried how it was going to go.
'I full on started panicking when I woke up on Sunday,' she told Grimshaw. 'I've been planning it [the teaser], for a while and I was nervous.
'I was just relieved that nothing has to be a secret anymore. They played it after a pizza advert... typical,' she laughed.
'I don't remember how it felt. It went quiet in my house. I thought everyone would think it was a John Lewis advert.
'Then I went on Twitter. I've lost my password so I looked on my browser and I could only see three tweets, so I thought that's it, I've missed my window. Then my boyfriend said there's loads.'
Adding: 'I want to surprise people. I've had nothing to say so why am I going to say anything. Every album is always going to follow 21, so I can't include it in any expectations of anything I do again.'
Talking about her past success, Adele told the host: 'I obviously have an ego, so the fact it did well, that fed my ego,' before adding: 'Gah! It was phenomenal, a big part of my life.'
Following the playing of the single, she spoke of her relief and admitted she had struggled to write the chorus.
She later said: 'I did write an album about being a mum. but that was pretty boring, so I scrapped that.'
Nick asked how Adele managed to stay so grounded despite her fame.
She said: 'Sometimes I have my days and my moments, not all the time, when I think I just want to be on a yacht all the time. But I don't want to be on a yacht. I'm scared of the sea. I find fame quite toxic. It doesn't last so you'll miss it when it goes. I like the way my life is. No one else in my life is famous, so they would think I am an idiot if lived my like like that.
'I do shop at Waitrose these days. That's the biggest change,' she laughed.
'And I've got a plasma.'
Talking about her relief now her single has been released, she said: 'I thought it was never going to happen. I would do stuff and my team would say, "it's not good enough, go back to the drawing board."' It's been a long time coming.
'My favourite song from the album is When We Were Young, so I can't wait for people to hear that.'
