Adele wants to reduce her work commitments and make her career “more focused on her music” following the cancellation of her shows in Las Vegas.

The Mail on Sunday understands the 33-year-old singer is planning to ‘get back to basics’ after a high-profile PR campaign to promote her album, 30, including two TV specials.

She was reportedly appalled when she was interviewed by Australian DJ Matt Doran, only to find he hadn’t listened to her album.

Industry sources have suggested the London-born star wants to revive the kind of commitments she had earlier in her career.

Insiders say that explains her decision to appear at the Brit Awards on Tuesday and on Graham Norton’s chat show this Friday.

A source said: “There have been times over the last six months where things got too big. There have been tensions within the Adele team.

“One minute she was living away from the limelight, the next she was being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.

“Adele likes the British. This is where she feels at home. She was being interviewed by The Face magazine who really appreciated her work, and then she ended up being interviewed by someone in Australia who hadn’t even listened to her album.

“Beneath all those millions of pounds is a normal Tottenham girl who is not fashionable at all.”

Adele is dating sports agent Rich Paul, 40. At present it is managed by Jonathan Dickens, the British music director who has been with it since 2006, although there have been talks that he will not be in this role for much longer.
