Music video

[change | change source]

No proper music video was shot for "Set Fire to the Rain" (as well as other singles from 21, "Rumor Has It" and "Turning Tables") as Adele had recently undergone vocal surgery.[source?] Instead, a live performance video was uploaded to her Vevo account and has received more than 380 million views as of October 2017.
