Adele named her dog after Britney Spears and then changed her mind

Adele fans have discovered another reason to love the down to earth diva and it's all to do with the name of her dog. TeamDogs discovered that the hitmaker used to have a dog called Britney Spears but changed her mind after hearing it 'sing'.

According to Dogalize, when the pup was born Adele was at a Britney Spears gig in London so decided to name him in honour of the occasion.

Despite the fact the dog was a boy and she was - allegedly! - hungover, the Grammy Award winner stuck with the name until he started to howl along to her Louis Armstrong records.

Her beloved dachshund then became Louis after the American trumpeter and vocalist, most famous for the songs What A Wonderful Worlds and Hello Dolly.

Adele, who's not put out any new music for the last six years, says her boy is the love of her life. She also paid tribute to her late miniature pinscher, Atilla, with a performance of One and Only back in 2016.

This week she dropped a 20-second clip of her latest song, Easy On Me.

The short snippet sees the 33-year-old loading a cassette into a car tape deck before driving off as sheets of music fly out of the window.

The 20-second clip was cut off before any lyrics were revealed, leaving fans desperate to know more, including Adele's new music release date, when the album can be expected and what it's called.
