Though Adele has already secured a top spot in the industry- she has an Emmy for her “Adele: One Night Only” special, 16 Grammys and her song “Skyfall” earned her an Oscar for best original song- she has yet to scoop up a Tony award.

“[I’ve] always had the ego,” Adele joked before explaining why winning a Tony “is never gonna happen,” despite the achievement being more than attainable for the talented musician.

Although Adele “absolutely” appreciates the art form, she elaborated: “I just don’t need to hear everything in f**king song all the time.”
“I also think the EGO suits me better.”
