The unexpected clip comes after it was revealed that Adele's upcoming album would include heartbreaking voice notes exchanged with Angelo.
In an emotional track, My Little Love, the singer includes audio recordings from conversations with her nine-year-old in which he attempts to stop her crying amid her 2019 divorce, which is the key subject of the record.
Adele - who shares Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki - sings: 'I'm so sorry if what I've done makes you feel sad'.
In more heart wrenching notes she says 'Tell me you love me', to which Angelo replies, 'I love you, one million per cent. I feel like you like me too.'

Adele continues in the tearful voice notes: 'You know Mummy doesn't like anyone else like I like you, right? Mummy's been having a lot of big feelings lately, I'm confused and I don't know what I'm doing.'
In more voice notes to her son she says: 'I love your dad because he gave you to me... I've had a bad day, I'm very anxious...
