Adele is nervous about her upcoming tour.
While the 'Hello' hitmaker is happy with how rehearsals have been progressing, she admitted there will be "a few bumps along the way".
Speaking at the Brit Awards in London on Wednesday (24.02.16), where she picked up four awards, Adele told BANG Showbiz: "I am looking forward to it but I'm nervous. I'm starting to think I'm crazy.
"The shows we were in production for before I went to Los Angeles for the Grammys were great. It's really exciting. It's really fun and very different from anything I've done. We are in such a big room and I wanted to make it intimate.
"I'm excited I just want to be healthy and be good for everyone. There will be a few bumps along the way because I sing live."
Meanwhile, Adele also admitted she felt "worn out emotionally" after winning four Brit Awards.
The 27-year-old singer won awards for British Female Solo Artist, British Single for 'Hello' and Mastercard British Album Of The Year for '25' and also took home the BRITs Global Success Award, which was presented by astronaut Tim Peake live from the International Space Station.
She also closed the show with an incredible performance of 'When We Were Young' but admitted that she was in a state of shock.
She said: "I feel a bit worn out emotionally. It feels absolutely incredible. I was hoping to win one but to get that many was amazing. I'm very lucky.
"I've watched it since I was last here and had a bit of a yearning just to be here and not nominated. I missed the bustle of it all."

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he shared: "Storm's inspired me for the last 12 months to make this record, I've dug deep about my feelings and all the songs come from the heart. It's very autobiographical, I'm in a great place and that's come out of me in the lyrics. I'm proud of the songs, I think they're my best work and I'm excited for people to hear them live, I was excited for Storm to hear them.
"There's a song called 'Breathe' - which is going to be the second single - I'm really enjoying singing it at home just with my guitar as I get ready for the live performances and that track has a great euphoric chorus. I'm sure people are going to love it."

Eagles of Death Metal have dedicated their BRIT Award nomination to their supporters after the Paris shootings last November.
The rock band are up for International Group at tonight's (24.02.16) BRIT Awards at London's The O2 and are touched by the nod, which was a nice surprise for the 'I Want You So Hard' rockers after a traumatic few months, after they were caught up in the terrorist attacks in Paris, France, where their concert at Le Bataclan theatre was stormed by gunmen.
Of their first BRIT nomination, frontman Jesse Hughes said: "It's still overwhelming to think that EODM has been nominated for a BRIT Award. We would like to dedicate this recognition to everyone who has shown us love and support since November, and before then.
"The reception we've received since coming back to Europe has truly been humbling and has helped us get back to doing what we do - playing kick-ass butt-shaking rock n roll music.
"Tonight we're looking forward to celebrating that great music, having fun and hanging with our friends."
The American group - also including guitarist Josh Homme - will go head-to-head with Alabama Shakes, Major Lazer, Tame Impala and U2 for the International Group prize at the ceremony, which is sponsored by MasterCard and will be broadcast live on ITV from 8pm tonight (24.02.16).

Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea thinks the late David Bowie's "art was so pure" because he kept his personal life private.
The 'Under The Bridge' bassist is a massive fan of the late music legend - who died in January at the age of 69 after a secret battle with cancer - and as soon as he heard of the 'Changes' hitmaker's passing he got a tattoo of his surname inked on his arm.
Now he's spoke about the "personal" connection he felt with the late star.
He said: "About a month before Bowie died, I bought his vinyl box set and was working through it. Then, the night before he died, I was listening to 'Blackstar' on headphones. He was very much on my mind when I woke up the next morning.
"Like many people, I connected with him in such a personal way. He never wrote about his personal life, which made his art so pure, but you felt like you knew him almost better than anyone else."
Meanwhile, Flea has given an update on his band's eagerly-anticipated as-yet-untitled eleventh studio LP, and says it's taking them into a "new area".
Flea, 53, told Q magazine: "We're near the end of it. Danger Mouse is producing this time, instead of Rick Rubin. We're heading into a new era and we're really excited.
"It's new and different but without sacrificing the good bits of us. There are some songs we already had, and some new ones too. I can't wait to play it live."

James Bay will duet with Justin Bieber at tonight's (24.02.16) BRIT Awards.
The 'Let It Go' singer is reportedly planning to team up with the 'Sorry' hitmaker for a special performance at London's O2, which will be in addition to the solo slots both stars have also been given at the annual ceremony, The Sun newspaper reports.
James and Justin reportedly became friends at a private hotel afterparty after the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) in October when they were introduced by mutual friends, and the 25-year-old singer previously described the Canadian star as a "charming little lad".
He previously said: "It was the MTV EMAs in Milan. Ed was having a party in a massive hotel room.
"I don't know if Mr. Bieber knew who I was, but Ed introduced me anyway saying I'd got the biggest album in the UK at the moment. Justin was cool - a nice, charming little lad."
Singer/songwriter James is in contention for three prizes at tonight's BRITs - which are sponsored by MasterCard - including British Male Solo Artist, British Single for 'Hold Back The River' and the MasterCard British Album of the Year for his debut LP 'Chaos and the Calm'.
Meanwhile, Justin is contesting for International Solo Artist.

David Bowie's touring band are to pay tribute to the late music icon at tonight's (24.02.16) BRIT Awards.
The 'Space Oddity' hitmaker - who died in January at the age of 69 after a secret battle with cancer - will be remembered at the music bash at London's The O2 with his former band joined by several top-secret guest performers.
BRITs boss Max Lousada said: "We wish to honour his life and work and pay a fitting tribute to one of our greatest icons."
A source previously revealed that the guest musicians are likely to be artists such as Noel Gallagher, Blur's Damon Albarn and U2's Bono, rather than younger artists who weren't alive in the music legend's heyday.
A music insider said: "A few artists approached the Brits to ask if they could be involved in the David Bowie tribute as they want to make sure it is done properly.
"He was a British icon and they want to provide a credible farewell which can honour that.
"The band will be full of musicians who grew up with Bowie and were inspired by him, meaning artists like Noel, Damon and Bono.
"It is unlikely to involve young acts such as Sam Smith or Ed Sheeran, but there will be a few artists who are already singing on the night who will be asked if they want to take part too.
"The organisers are putting everything into it. If they get it right, it will be epic."
The BRIT Awards 2016 - which are sponsored by MasterCard - will be broadcast live on ITV at 8pm.

Beyoncé will reportedly drop her new album in April.
The 34-year-old star - who recently unveiled her new single and video for surprise track 'Formation' - is expected to release her next LP in just two months time.
A source said: "[She] is close to making a new worldwide, multi-album deal with Sony Music; the final release under the current deal is now set for April."
It is also thought the 'Run The World' hitmaker may also release a second album, a "joint project" with her husband Jay Z, later this year.
The insider added to Hits Daily Double: "There are rumours of another Beyoncé album in 2016, this one a joint project with husband Jay Z."
Meanwhile, Beyoncé previously admitted her Superbowl performance made her feel "proud".
She said: "It felt great. It makes me proud. I wanted people to feel proud, and have love for themselves."
However, her favourite part of the night was watching headliners' Coldplay's set because she could watch it rom the back.
She added: "The best part was seeing Coldplay, for me, because I was able to watch from the back."
Beyoncé is also set to head out on a world tour later this year and will perform across North America and Europe.

Yoko Ono will "never" retire from music.
The 83-year-old musician-and-artist's only interest in life is for her art to be "something beautiful" and she's not about to give up her passion even though she's in her mid-eighties.
Asked if she'll ever stop making music, she told the Guardian newspaper: "I won't stop. No, I never think that. Artists are obsessive, they want to keep doing it. And I'm an artist. My sole interest is in creating something beautiful. When I say beautiful .... well, the maximum beauty can be ugly to some people."
Yoko - who is the widow of the late Beatle legend John Lennon - recently picked up the NME Inspiration Award and said she hopes her work continues to influence other artists.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I want to keep on making music and art and keep on inspiring people. But I don't know what my fans take from what I do with my work and my website, I just keep dishing out things and I hope for the best, but I never know how people will react to what I do."
The 'Give Peace a Chance' hitmaker has just released her new collaborative LP featuring the likes of Moby, Death Cab For Cutie and Sparks called 'Yes, I'm A Witch Too'.
