It’s one of the most glamorous ceremonies of the whole award season and plenty of people are desperate to get an invite but it looks like Adele is snubbing this year’s Oscars.

It’s being reported that the singer has turned down an offer to present an award at the event in L.A on February 28 as her world tour kicks off the next day.

A source told The Mirror: “Organisers are desperate to get her and will still do anything to make it happen but she feels the turnaround is too tight and will not let anything jeopardise her tour.

“She is aware things can go wrong which causes delays and also the potential impact of a long flight on her voice. She has dug in her heels on this one.”

“The organisers were prepared to stop at nothing to get her there and on stage. They thought it would be great if she gave out Best Song since she won the award herself.

“Of course, there were people in her team who think that the Oscars are too big a deal to miss out on. But Adele is in a league of her own in terms of fame and success at the moment."

“Amazingly, she doesn’t really need the Oscars.”

Adele's highly-anticipated world tour will see her play at huge venues all over the world. Tickets are so sought after that people are selling theirs online for up to £2000!
