Singer Adele has contacted urban street artist Pegasus and commissioned an "iconic" painting for herself.

The singer became a fan of Pegasus' work after seeing a painting that he did of Alan Carr, and now she wants an image of her own.

`Adele has been in touch saying that she wants Pegasus to paint her. She wants the painting to be iconic. Pegasus painted her friend Alan Carr and as soon as she saw his hilarious picture, she wanted one of her own,` dailystar.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

The source also said that she is hoping that the painter will be willing to include some of the artwork of albums that have inspired her over the years.

`She's also asked for album artwork to be in the painting, as well as cars and some of her other favourite things,` the source added.
