Adele Promises to Always Sing Her Hits After Seeing Radiohead Refuse to Play "Creep"

"I would never do that, just because of how pissed off I was"

You can rely on Adele to drink wine, as well as to let you continue to say "Hello" to her classic songs.

The pop star and future literary scholar admitted that she felt like her favourite band Radiohead were, well, weirdos for not playing their relentlessly meme'd hit "Creep" when she saw them in concert. Consequently, Adele has vowed to "never do that" because she was so pissed off about it.

Doing press ahead of her postponed Las Vegas residency, she was joined by host and comedian Benito Skinner for a Happy Hour with Adele special to answer some fan questions.

Skinner probed about whether any entries in her affecting catalogue were too emotionally painful for her to perform, gesturing toward the singer-songwriter eventually growing tired of her hits. "Are there some [songs] that you're like, 'I can't believe I have to sing this still?'" he asked [via The Independent].

"Do you know what? Yeah, one time I went to a Radiohead show and they didn't fucking sing 'Creep,'" Adele answered. "I was so annoyed," she continued. "And I get it, I get it; but I would never do that, just because of how pissed off I was." She then jokingly suggested someone ask her the question again when she's 60.

It sounds like the pop star doesn't think the band are so fuckin' special enough not to do fan service, and she will continue "Rolling in the Deep" and seeking "Someone Like You" through the ages. Don't count on her to look at a setlist and think that they don't belong there.

Recently, Lizzo admitted that she was bullied in school for liking Radiohead. Thom Yorke paraphrased "No Surprises" in response to the UK Prime Minister's resignation, while Philip Selway announced a new solo album.
