After a short minute clip of Adele’s new song "When You Were Young" debuted on 60 Minutes Australia’s Twitter feed yesterday, the full performance has found its way online.

Performed live at the ‘The Church’, the 27-year-old singer is surrounded by huge speakers and backing band featuring nemerous singers.

The track, taken off the forthcoming album 25, features the chorus: “Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time that we might be exactly like were before we realised

"We were sad and getting old it made us so restless / it was just like a movie / It was just like a song / When we were young”

25 drops on 20 November and is expected to sell over a million copies in its first week alone. The 27-year-old is thought to be “pulling a Taylor Swift” by taking her music off the streaming service Spotify.

In a recent interview, she spoke about her son motivating her to start doing music again, saying: “Everything I do, in every channel of my life, is part of a legacy that I’m making for my child. For my children, if I have more.

"I’m not motivated by much, certainly not by money – but I’m motivated by that. I want my child to see his mum running a proper business again. Being a boss again. Hopefully smashing it again.”
