Adele, Richie swap numbers

It's been pointed out by a fair few people that Adele's new, haunting track Hello has some interesting parallels with Lionel Richie's 1983 hit Hello. The crooner has responded on his Instagram page. He wrote: "HELLO Adele, is it me you're looking for?" Adele has been a good sport about it, and made light of the similarity between her and Lionel's track on BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show, telling Nick Grimshaw: "We've definitely got to do something, me and Lionel," and suggesting they hold a competitive "hello-off"...
