Adele accused of 'stealing' song

Adele may have become a colossus of the music world, sweeping all before her in terms of record sales and awards, and single-handedly propping up the beleagured industry with her record-breaking new album 25.

But now one of that album’s most acclaimed tracks, "Million Years Ago", in which Adele seems to lament the ordinary life fame has taken from her, has become embroiled in a plagiarism row. Fans of the Kurdish-Turkish singer Ahmet Kaya are claiming that the tune is not a million miles away from his 1985 song "Acilara Tutunmak (Clinging to Pain)".

Social media sites in Turkey were abuzz with claims that the 27-year-old British singer had ripped off the song from Kaya, who died in November 2000.
