There's an incredible Sam Smith and Adele conspiracy theory

They're both British, write really sad songs and are responsible two smashing James Bond themes.

So, there's only one sensible conclusion: Adele and Sam Smith are clearly the same person.

The theory first started when people noticed the pair were never in the same room.

Now, there's fresh evidence.

What happens when you slow down Adele? Suddenly: Hello, it's Sam.

If you don't think that's insanely spooky, you're wrong.

The theory got pretty deep.

Someone actually applied this logic and, er, it didn't quite work.

But conspiracy theorists are nothing but adaptable.

So, the failure just turned into a strange kind of limitless theory where Adele is Sam Smith, Halsey, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and more. All at once.

It might be a modern mystery that remains unsolved – but at least we know how to get a Sam Smith cover of any Adele song now.
