Adele turns down autobiography deal

The 24-year old pop star is reported to have said she was 'far too young' to write a memoir

A source told The Mirror that HarperCollins had approached the singer's management team with a generous offer for her autobiography, reported The Belfast Telegraph. The 'generous offer' has been speculated to have been a seven-figure sum.

'Adele’s never been a really showy person,' said the source. 'So it was always going to take a lot to get her to write her life story anyway.
'But even though she received a lucrative offer, her primary concern was that she doesn’t want to write a book about just 24 years. She feels she’d rather wait until she has more life experience to write about.'
