adele to sing her second james bond theme tune
BOND bosses want Adele to repeat her Skyfall success with a new smash-hit tune.
And by signing her for the next soundtrack they hope she'll go on to match 007 queen Dame Shirley Bassey.
The Skyfall theme last week landed 24-year-old Adele an Oscar — the first in 47 years of Bond films — to go alongside her Brit Award and Golden Globe gong.
A source said: "Producers are thrilled by how well the song has been received and hope Adele's presence on the next film will replicate that success.
"They want her to become as synonymous with Bond as Dame Shirley."
Welsh legend Shirley, 76, had Bond hits with Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1972) and Moonraker (1979). But none won awards or sold as many as Skyfall's three million copies worldwide.
Meanwhile Adele's aunt has told how relatives wept with joy as they watched the star at last week's Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
Anita Adkins, elder sister of the star's mum Penny, said: "We streamed it live online through the night. When Adele burst into tears, we all did the same. We're all quite strong but we're also very emotional. Adele's one of us. We feel what she feels."
