James Corden spoke about the incident afterwards and seemed visibly upset by the whole thing. "I'm actually really upset by it," he said. "Blur played for 11 minutes and she didn't even get to say thankyou once." Eek.
The whole incident was more than a little embarrassing. What with Adele being the biggest singer in the world right now and doing Britain proud at the Grammys over the weekend, we hoped we'd be able to give her the homecoming she deserved at tonight's BRITs.
We hope she's not too upset!
