Adele addressed why she wasn’t performing on the show for the night.
“Now I know there’s been a lot of chatter about me just being the host. I’ve seen all of it. Like, ‘Why isn’t she the musical guest?’ And stuff like that, and there’s a couple of reasons,” she began. “My album’s not finished, and I’m also too scared to do both.”
