On Thursday, Adele gave fans in Europe something to be thankful for: The British megastar is going on tour to support her record-breaking third studio album, 25. The series of shows marks the songstress's first string of concerts since 2011, according to the Associated Press. Adele made her announcement in a video posted to Facebook. 

"Hello, it's me," the musician said, addressing fans in the Facebook video. "I have been bluffing this whole time, and I am so relieved to finally tell you that I am, of course, coming on tour and I can't wait to see all of you there. So see you all very, very soon!"

The tour will begin on Feb. 29 in the U.K. and will end in Antwerp, Belgium, on June 13, according to Adele's tour page.
