Adele will host this week’s SNL

Adele will make a rare public appearance this week when she hosts Saturday Night Live for the first time. The British singer will take over the show on October 24 alongside musical guest H.E.R.

Speaking about her hosting debut, Adele wrote on Instagram: "I’ve always wanted to do it as a stand alone moment, so that I could roll up my sleeves and fully throw myself into it, but the time has never been right. But if there was ever a time for any of us to jump head first into the deep end with our eyes closed and hope for the best it’s 2020 right?"

Adele's most recent album, 25, was released in 2015. She has appeared as the SNL musical guest twice before, first in 2008 (with host Josh Brolin) and again in 2015 when Matthew McConaughey hosted.

Bloooooody hellllll I’m so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified! My first ever hosting gig and for SNL of all things!!!! I’ve always wanted to do it as a stand alone moment, so that I could roll up my sleeves and fully throw myself into it, but the time has never been right. But if there was ever a time for any of us to jump head first into the deep end with our eyes closed and hope for the best it’s 2020 right? Itll be almost 12 years to the day that I first appeared on the show, during an election...which went on to break my career in America, so it feels full circle and I just couldn’t possibly say no! I am besides myself that H.E.R will be the musical guest!! I love her SO much I can’t wait to melt into a flaming hot mess when she performs, then confuse myself while I laugh my arse off in between it all. See you next week ♥️🤞🏻
