I filmed this early Adele interview with Simon Mayo on BBC Radio 2, long before global fame found her. It’s a rare glimpse of Adele at the very beginning of her career — funny, humble, and completely herself.
During the chat, her mum called in — and Adele actually answers on air! Moments like that remind you how genuine and down-to-earth she’s always been. She also performed “Chasing Pavements” sraight after and other songs from her debut album 19, showcasing the incredible voice and honesty that would soon make her a worldwide star.
Watching this now feels like seeing history unfold — Adele before the stadiums, before the Grammys, just a young artist with extraordinary talent and warmth.
🎥 Filmed by me at BBC Radio 2 — a moment I’ll never forget.
🎶 “Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements…”
