The Australian TV journalist who received “a torrent of abuse and mockery” for not listening to Acdele’s new album before interviewing her has issued an apology.
Doran described the singer as “profound” and “funny”, stating: “But all that doesn’t matter because, by missing the album link, however I might try to justify it, I’ve insulted Adele.”
Doran is said to have flown to London on 4 November, ahead of the 19 November release of Adele’s latest record, 30, for an exclusive interview with the 33-year-old singer.
He called it “a terrible mistake”, and refuted claims that Adele walked out of the interview upon learning he hadn’t listened to the album.
