Believe it or not, Adele is a longtime fan of country musician Chris Stapleton. When speaking about their collaboration on a version of “Easy on Me” to Rolling Stone, Adele shared, referring to Stapleton’s former band, The SteelDrivers, “Basically, I’ve been a fan of him since SteelDriver days. I’ve been covering SteelDrivers for like nearly 12 years now. It’s just… his voice is just f***ing brilliant.”
As noted by Rolling Stone, Adele has previously covered songs by The SteelDrivers, including “If It Hadn’t Been for Love,” which was written in part by Stapleton. In the video “73 Questions With Adele” from Vogue (available via YouTube), Adele shared that Stapleton was actually her dream duet partner.
Adele revealed to Rolling Stone that due to the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, she and Stapleton didn’t meet at first. “We had to start over Zoom. It was devastating. Yeah, it’s on there and I think our voices work brilliantly together. [He] would’ve been one person that I would’ve always have said yes, like 100%.”
