Adele to sign £90m deal with Sony Music

Adele is reportedly due to sign a £90m record contract, landing the biggest deal ever handed to a British musician.

The Sony Music contract would top the £80m Robbie Williams landed from EMI in 2002 and would give her the best deal ever handed to a female artist, bigger than the £70m Whitney Houston scored in 2001 from Arista.

A source at Sony Music said: “We’ve secured Adele, who’s without doubt the biggest music star in a generation. This is massive.”
