Lionel Richie reaches out to Adele after release of new single Hello

Lionel Richie has made an official call-out to Adele after the release of her new single ‘Hello’.

Following the release of Adele’s new single ‘Hello’, which has men, women and children bawling their eyes out for no apparent reason, this mash-up was created of the two most infamous songs centred around mystery phone calls.

The meme took off with people apparently finding the similiarities between the two songs, beyond funny and constant comparisons and jokes were being spun from the songs.

Thankfully seeing the funny side of things, Lionel Richie got in on the action, posting this instagram post and tagging the lovely lady herself.

The witty singer simply said "HELLO @adele is it me you're looking for... 📞 #hello"

Lets hope Adele responds.

Stay tuned people, this may be the most infamous (and long drawn out) form of communication since the days of pen and paper love letters -don't you just love social media?
