Adele has ruled out doing Glastonbury 2016.
The 27-year-old singer - who released the first single 'Hello' from her second album '25' today - has responded to rumours she will be playing the prestigious British music festival next year.
She told Capital London's Breakfast Show: "I think I have made myself pretty clear on Glastonbury. The crowds are too big - I don't know if I could do it."
The singer/songwriter then then joked of how people take their personal hygiene for granted at the infamous mud-fest and admitted she once had an accident waiting in the front row at a festival.
She added: "Well, the front row - they always do a poo and a pee so they don't lose their spot. They do - I have seen it happen! I nearly did it myself years ago. It's true, that is why it stinks down the front."
Earlier this morning BBC Radio 1 debuted 'Hello' and Adele admitted she was reduced to tears listening to it and seeing how fans reacted so positively on social media.
After it was aired, she said: "I obviously want people to like it.
"When I wrote it I knew this would be the first thing everyone heard from me. I thought no-one's going to know it's me. It'll backfire. When I looked there were three tweets.
"I thought I'd missed my window. But then my boyfriend told me there were loads."

Duran Duran will be honoured with the first ever MTV Video Visionary Award at the MTV EMAs on Sunday (25.10.15).
The 'Rio' hitmakers will receive the honour for their unique sound and strong visual sense, and for influencing a generation of musicians with some of the greatest pioneering music videos of all time.
In a statement, the band - fronted by Simon Le Bon - said: "It is no coincidence that our rise was paralleled by the growth and ultimate world domination of MTV. The birth of music videos as a way to simultaneously bring our music to a global audience revolutionised the business."
As well as thanking MTV, the band also took the opportunity to extend their gratitude to the various directors they've worked with over the years.
They said: "We took this new short form of film making and tried to make it our own. We have had some incredible experiences over the years making our videos.
"We have worked with some of the most talented directors in the world - without whom we would not be honored here today. We are really proud to be the recipients of this new award. Thank you MTV."
The 2015 MTV EMA premieres live on MTV, Sunday October 25 at 9pm.

Dionne Bromfield feels her "life is made" after meeting Beyoncé.
The 19-year-old singer-songwriter met Beyoncé after her husband Jay Z performed at the Wireless festival and Dionne has fond memories of the encounter with the Grammy-winning star.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Dionne said: "I remember Beyoncé told me, 'Come and sit down next to me', and then she said to me, 'I know all your music'. And I thought, she is just saying this.
"She knew 'Mama Said', and I was like, Beyoncé knows my stuff! Life is perfect now!"
Dionne - who recently starred in 'Friday Download The Movie (Up All Night)' - also revealed she's currently preparing to release new music later this year, having enjoyed an extended break from the business.
Dionne confessed: "I've had two albums out by the age of sixteen, to me that was a big thing, but that is not normal for an average person, but it was normal to me.
"You will definitely be hearing music from me at least by the end of this year, and more of my own stuff will be the beginning of next year."
And the London-born singer revealed her new music will be noticeably different to her previous tunes.
Dionne said: "It's a little bit different to what I usually do. You can definitely see the progression and that I have grown.
"This is me - this is the new stamp that I needed."
'Friday Download The Movie (Up All Night)' is available now on DVD, download and on demand.

Plan B is reportedly working on a comeback album.
The 'Stay Too Long' hitmaker - whose real name is Ben Drew - disappeared from the spotlight in 2012, after the release of 'Ill Manors' and his film of the same name, but is seemingly set to make a much-anticipated return.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Ben became a dad and took his time to get back in the studio. The album sounds soulful with no rapping at the moment."
The news comes as a surprise because after becoming a dad, Ben was in limbo about his career and even considered giving it all up for his daughter.
The 32-year-old star previously said: "I'm completely in love with her, she's the most important thing in my life. More important than music or film or anything.
"It makes the next album very difficult because I know how long I'm going to have to be away from her in order to make the next album successful and that scares me a bit.
"So I'm at a crossroads in terms of what I want to talk about and whether or not I even want that in my life anymore."
Plan B's third album is expected to be released in 2016.

Tori Kelly wants to duet with Justin Timberlake.
The American songstress - who's already collaborated with Ed Sheeran on her track 'I Was Made for Loving You' - is keen to work with the former N' Sync star as she's been a fan of his since she was a little girl.
She said: "It would be cool to do a song with Justin Timberlake, I've been a fan of his since I was 6 years old."
And the blonde beauty - who will perform on Sunday (25.10.15) at the MTV European Music Awards in Milan, Italy - also aired her interest in writing songs with James Bay after she recently met the singer, who she's a "massive fan" of.
She told Digital Spy: "I just recently got to meet James Bay, who I'm a massive fan of. It would be cool to write with him."
Meanwhile, Tori recently revealed how much she enjoyed working with Ed Sheeran, saying he's a laid-back character in both a personal and professional context.
She shared: "He's so laid back in the studio and super chill. He's just like that as a person too."

Rod Stewart feels he's "running out of time".
The 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?' hitmaker has still got a long list of song ideas and isn't quite ready to hang up the songwriting pen and paper just yet.
He said: "I realised I've had quite a wonderful life and there was a lot to write about. As you grow older, you become aware that you're running out of time. That makes you look back at the past and that's what I've brought out in some songs.
"I feel as if it's a gift to still be making records and to have them sell rather well. I like to think I'm making pretty current music."
And the 70-year-old singer - who has sold over 100 million records worldwide since his first single in the 1960s - admits his songwriting process is incredibly "freeform".
He shared: "With me, writing songs is very freeform. You never know how they are going to come about."
Referring to the high note at the beginning of one of his new track's 'Please', he added to The Sun newspaper: "Some note that, innit? It came about as a pure accident. I hit that note and everyone around me said, 'Let's base the whole song around that note.'
"I'm still not quite comfortable with it because it's a cross between a falsetto and a full voice, so I have to keep practising."

Oliver Heldens doesn't feel "pressure" to make another hit single.
The 20-year-old electronic music producer's collaboration with Becky Hill, 'Gecko (Overdrive)' debuted at Number 1 on the UK singles chart and was one of the hits of summer 2014 but Oliver has insisted he's not worried about recreating it's success.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Of course Gecko was really big in the UK but I don't really feel the pressure to make new big radio records or to make new big records at all. I'm always making new music and it's going really well."
Oliver also spoke about his upcoming collaboration with legendary DJ, Tiesto, 'Wombass', and confessed he can't wait for it's official release next month.
He explained: "Two years ago actually, Tiesto and I met up and were talking about a collaboration and then I think over a year later I sent him a new project I was working on and he really liked it and since then we've been working on it and it's finally finished and it's going to be released next month and the track works very well in both of our sets and I'm very excited for the release of it."
The DJ is currently on the UK leg of his 'Heldeep' tour and is set to play at We Are WHSE at Great Suffolk Street, London tomorrow (24.10.15) but he's admitted it's tough to stay healthy when you're constantly on the move.
He added: "It's hard sometimes but I don't drink a lot of alcohol. I rarely drink alcohol and I try to eat healthily but it's hard because food at the airport is s**t."
We Are WHSE presents Heldeep with Oliver Heldens, Becky Hill and Danny Howard this Saturday October 24. For tickets or more information visit www.wearewhse.co.uk/events/heldeep

Sir Elton John has announced he is releasing his 33rd album next February. The 68-year-old music legend has named the LP 'Wonderful Crazy Night' and today (22.10.15) gave fans a taste of what's to come by dropping his first single from the new record,...

Tony Bennett has confirmed he's working on a new Cole Porter covers album with Lady Gaga.
The 89-year-old musician has confirmed they are working on a follow-up to their acclaimed 'Cheek to Cheek' LP - which was released in 2014 and won the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Asked if he is working on anything new with the 'Born This Way' hitmaker, he said: "Yeah, we're doing an album. It's going to be all Cole Porter songs. He was the best writer of all of them in the 'Great American Songbook'. Highly intelligent. We're going to have a lot of fun doing that."
The legendary jazz musician praised "gorgeous singer" Gaga and admitted their last record benefited both of them because teenagers became aware of his music and Tony's followers realised just how wonderful Gaga is.
He told Vulture magazine: "Gaga is a gorgeous singer, and when she sings a great ballad, I get goose bumps. She helped me and I helped her by doing 'Cheek to Cheek'. Through her telling her audience how much she likes me, all of them became fans of mine, all these young teenagers.
"On the other hand, by her singing these beautiful songs on the album, the audience I have, all of them said, 'God, I never knew she sang that wonderfully'. So we both helped one another. We get along great. She's got a lot of talent."
