Adele rents McCartney's home for Oscar rehearsals

Adele is said to have rented Paul McCartney's old house to practise for her performance at the Oscar ceremony.

The 24-year-old, who is reportedly battling stage fright, is paying 47,000 pounds a month to rehearse in the house, reported Sun Online.

"Adele is really nervous about her Oscars performance, so decided against staying in a hotel where there would be lots of people around. The property's up in the hills so guarantees her privacy. And what better place to get musical inspiration than an ex-Beatle's home," a source said.

The British singer will perform James Bond theme 'Skyfall' at the ceremony.
