this moment of my life in a good way when I went to go and see him latina, he had concern and very sadly, died. Last year we were able to make peace with you. Why made the piece of him when I found out? He was sick and we really go on which was amazing, but also sad, because we the miss time yet

It was great for both of us it's time for some more music adele what he got for us and why you taken it with you to the island.
I've got cider, I'm as you might need somebody. She has this for bra o in her voice.
It's insane. It's like a hummingbird in her voice. Light is so stunning and I love the brass and just the attitude and it was so soulful. I loved the video like she's got the cat in the video law in one she's laughing can about life and stuff. Like that and

now that many americanized until a bit later, so you know for me it was the homo got another. British go live, it fell,
people might say it will can demonstrate.
you might need somebody shown rama adele. You were born and taught them
grown up. We lived in brighton for a while and then west norwood, where you wrote your day, be single hometown glory, your member writing it. Oh,
I remember I used wasted in the kitchen with my late at night
and am couldn't really
what my way around the guitar like? I can't really do bar cause. It hurts my fingers too much so, as you just saw play the guitar like a bass and picket, I was with my friends.
I live here at the time,
and my mom and we re the flat and was no woods and we were going to the march the following day against the iraq war down by parliament,
we were making these and you know all the signs. I felt like such a sense of power in that you know me and olivia were like fifteen sixteen and we went- and I just I just was mesmerized by everyone. I was really like soaking it all in and that night, when when we got back and I got home and stuff, I wrote it yeah, but it was just it was. It was very profound- and I was very I was very proud and to walk the streets with a million other people, and that was the first proper song. I wrote. The offense
wisdom- and I knew it was good- saw as lack spy, breakthrough, hair, lightener and then songs always have been. I think, a place for you to put your feelings. You are obviously writing from a young age and working on your own material, you're known for your very raw and heartfelt writing. Is it a case that you can put in songs what you're feeling? Perhaps even if you can't say it are one hundred percent are definitely realize that more on this album for a, I am very articulate, but I don't my communication. Skills aren't always great live in, and I'm still working on that today, because I just get so defensive. So I like,
Explode Ralph then have an adult conversation and stuff like that. You know looking back on like nineteen and twenty one and twenty five as as so many I get so many answers out of out of my songs for myself, so it was in two thousand and two,
and you for foreseen Adele it you auditioned for place at the bridge school for performing arts and technology in croydon. How much was riding
you get in a place there. I radio
to ago, and you know a lot- my friends start getting pregnant. You know, and I wasn't why the I would but the way what its close anymore they couldn't come to school on time and stuff like that,
an arm is like living. My mum was a bit more worried about that that side of it and she wanted to give me real focus and model edition- was great wheel
nailed it. What do I do now? Where do you come home? I sang free by stevie, wonder and then pay to tumble down, blues or mclaren it, and I had at the time of my life. There is not a stage station,
but of course, as kids during that period, since the hallways and stuff like that, life is like that. But it's not it's the only non fee paying performing arts school in the uk, or at least it was at the time, and it was such a melting pot of every single type of teenager. You know it's like you've got people doing amazing like new, so you got people to enroll people, people writing amazing pop songs. As I'm sorta play my guitar, I figure out the failings. It was absolute Heaven it's time for your next piece
music. What have you got? First, Adele is called. He needs me by nina Simone. My mum used to always have nina simone playing am in the house, especially in west norwood, or maybe I was just old enough at that point, to realize how amazing the music
And I'm a member hearing, the song, maybe stop him. Contracts are quite my eyes out this. That undying love waiting for somebody because he needs me. It was
real moment in my life, the emotion and a voice he made me he doesn't know, but he needs me.
he's so no matter
though he doesn't care
He knows
nina Simone and he needs me. You drifted away during that truck adele la where were you. I just saw this in my living room in west norwood yeah down. Do you think you're potential was recognized early on at the brit school. I was always chosen third by the teachers and stuff that there were two other thing is the the already chosen for everything else. I don't really philip
I put myself forward all the time like I could have just like cut out now and what was where was that coming from, I just know: you'd have to audition for like one time we did am dark side of the moon as a whole. You know strand, I remember my mum being like
go and audition for great gig in the sky and cause that's gonna, be huge, vocal line in it when they, when they were. There were three massive vocalists in Urim ima in my ear and stuff, like that, I didn't want that pressure. That comes with
I can but myself forward and one if I don't get it s not about disappointment, but how I feel leading up to it. I could just do without you know and so anxious, but I can enjoy it any final year bits
a friend of yours uploaded you demo online and I got record companies very excited. Now, one of the people you contacted you with nick hook it from exile recordings. How quickly did everything happened for the next day? I will I went in, and I've never heard of exile at the time and my guitarists, no, my friend at the time Ben

Prodigy, like am I a dizzee, rascal white stripes, always I wore I automated, and I met nick and he's all right. My and we got on. He was like who's your manager, and I was like oh pat the gap, so I was working at the gap one hundred of the time and he was the ardent know who
It was their surname and stuff like that, and I couldn't believe the views that we want to sign you an awful awful. I was at a really good laptop pay or myspace, and I was I bet they want me to be a scam. So this issue does not take favorite songs, that you'd kind of sheds a little playlist

Fidel you signed a deal with excel and your debut album. Nineteen was released in january, two thousand and eight one of the tracks on it. Chasing pavements, helped you crack america and you performed on the tv show saturday night live it's some a song about heartbreak, yes, but in true adele style as a really gutsy backstory behind the lyrics. Where did the inspiration come from? I was seeing this guy, and am it was a folk or indie club night go frog and I went, I went there and he was in there kissing his girl, but I got so angry and fed up and I slapped around the face and then I ran out cause security came off because I saw me do it and I was running down tottenham court road in oregon onto regent street and oxford street and stuff like that, and I remember being like not even doing it if you just chasing the pavement and also yeah when studio the next day
to pick up my guitar, I've been to a planet aka a five day session with aig wyatt, and then I went to pick up my guitar I'd left it there and then we wrote chasing pavements that day and you won the first two grammys for the album. That must have been quite a night for you. I had no shoes on
gummy my mouth awful duffy was gonna win it. I was so always that always law is that you too.
at the coldplay. What a like kanye was there all these people were there and I'm like oh, and they called my name. I bright blue gum in my mouth. I had a blue past from your fingers. I pulled off me acrylic the night before having a tickling fight with my boyfriend and then you know shoes, and it was just it was all crazy. He said you had terrible stage fright when you first performed in front of an audience. Is that the same for you today? I think it was exactly the same steadily the same
it was then I'll faint, my nerves and anxiety with my sage fry and the pressure and be like whoa. I don't know if I can do it means I care and often a lot of people actually don't care anymore and my life.
It breaks my heart when I go to a show, or here now, but
some and I'm not. I don't think they're in it anymore. I don't think they both doesn't feel that they care about what they're doing.
Nemo. It breaks my heart, and so I'm even when I do get that wild rush of like terrifying adrenalin. On the other hand, according to me, I'm excited my generally means. I'm excited my nerves means I want to go into a great show, and I at that is my that's my last measure of when I don't feel like that. When I'm done, I won't do any more disk number.
Ex. What have you gone for I'd rather go blind by james. I've got to see when I was in new york, touring twenty one she paid it be became.
in times square, which is like it's a small. I fear, like you, know, like jazz club and she must have been in a seven ays. She was holding that like being sexual signal, those that sexual songs she was
firecracker and then the means, and
just don't do ST james and I'd rather go blind, so Adele, your second album too
one came out. Twenty eleven by that point, you'd want to grammy's seed, achieved stratospheric record sales in the level of fame. That must have seemed exhilarating, but also at times I'm sure a bit scary to how did you feel learn about that
It was really intense and at times it was really hard to enjoy, because I can't keep up with the pace lie. You know it
if we got to the point where sometimes already now was you know,
You know where I was and what day it was, and it was intense, but it was incredible at the same time, and the media interest of course was intends to. Did you find that difficult to handle? I think sometimes I feel like of field it in the past by being such a recluse indica. Sometimes I used to be easy to use it. I wouldn't be seen
anywhere language? Where were you just just hang at home, but also like you know, I have a whole set up of how our move and no one ever knows that you know just so. I can go out and light be like completely care free, but you know
I think now might mean the relationship that I'm in here is that if you want to go to that rest, you should go and try to food at that
and if you want to go to this birthday party, then you should be going like you know not. Yet we can't miss out on these. Things was the worst that could happen. Lately. There's been a lot
press on social media? Curiosity about your recent weight loss- and I was actually very touched by what you had to say about the effect that you felt your changing appearance had on some eu funds? What's it like tat,
I have to deal with that scrutiny while at the same time explaining changes that you've chosen to make in your own life. I understand why the press are fascinated by it and
want to know cause. I didn't share my journey, like everyone else, does that most of the people have a dvd out by now or like
It is our duty, and I did it on on the quiet for myself, but I felt terrible for some people that felt like other people's comments. Mental
they weren't looking good or that they won't be people who live there and gradual eighteen. You you felt like that was you know that would be interpreted negatively by
There are some little beggar s. Yes for some people, it was, and I felt tat
oh and some of the ones I saw were young. They were like fifteen light, you know, and there was some other people that felt very betrayed by me, being like oh she's, giving into the pressure of it and which did
would he bother me cause like you? You ain't holding my hand at night at four, am when I'm cry maha out with anxiety and like needing a distraction and stuff like that and getting into exercise. That's been hugely helpful for your anxiety by the sounds of it. One hundred percent gave me focus. It gave me somewhere to get rid of all my energy good or bad and made me feel like I was getting stronger mentally by getting stronger physically in january. You postponed your las vegas concerts at the last minute and that left some funds very disappointed and upset, and your relationship with your fans is a very personal one for you. How did you balance their disappointment with your own creative decision that the concerts just couldn't go ahead, and do you think you got it right.
I don't know, I definitely fell everyone's disappointment and I was devastated and I was frightened about letting them down and I thought I could pull it together and make it work, and I couldn't- and I stand by that decision. I don't think any of her artists would have done what I did and I fitness why it was such a massive massive story was like I don't care and lie. You know, and things like that and you can't buy me. You can't buy me for nothing. I'm not going to just do a show, because
I have two or because they can be let down or because you never go lose. Those are money law. I'm like the shows, not good enough. You, of course I could be. Someone on tik tok
Mr brown alive everyday bailum working on a lot. Of course, I'm working on it, of course, on work.
I'm lookin update you. If angle muffins up that you will let you know that doesn't leads to more disappointment, and you know maybe that ain't been well balanced. I that maybe my silence has been not deadly, I don't know, but it was horrible and it was there was. The reaction was brutal brutal. I was a shell of a person for a couple of months. How did you get
tree that upsets way out that's a way out and them and just grieve it. I guess, does grieve the shows and you know, get over the guilt and yeah, but it was brutal it's time for disc number, seven, what's it going to be and why
You taken it with you to your island today, map spires years session. On that favour, the tell album was that it was up
I would help him it was like it was that chaos. It was like throwing everything against the wall and now she's a bloody superstar and all these things and to have her dislike dragon. Have this tender moment bloomy sucks
I met her at sea. When I moved to l a coward I, like my my fifteen year old self, was like she is like I'm saying like dragon on stage and so too
so to a real life is so weird, and just at the time that is
all lay through the house on this phenomenon: great bills. Loving,
max
by the way, I guess so
Well, your son Angela, was born in twenty twelve did becoming a mother change. You affect you in ways that you weren't expecting every single way. Every single way, a good badge strange and I love being a mom like st angelo- is just fallen in love with music. You know, because he's been into video games for the last few years, which is very much his dad's area, not mine, and we sit down and have the most intense conversations
music, but it's not like I'm like well did you know, obviously like we sit down and we listen to the songs together and we pick them apart. You know when we're talking about you, though, what do you think this means an alumni? Well, I dunno, but life could be this. It could mean that and it's just heavenly he mentioned his dad's. You know your your ex husband said. He lives very close and it is obviously very much kind of involved and and you're raising him together. Of course, there's a huge amount of press interest in that relationship and in the two of you breaking up that much
in a tough period for for all of you, it was, but you know it was never really tricky, because with such good friends and am over, my dead body is market. Having like a messy divorce in his life
there are no issues and there were no issues, so I guess that gave it. It was easier to make sure that didn't happen, but I was blessed with them in him. He's just the best. You know, and I definitely approached it all with grace and I think that really paid off. Looking beyond thirty to forty, maybe even fifty, how do you imagine life looking? What would you like to see for yourself they're, not just in your career but in in general,
I definitely would like a couple more kids, it'd be wonderful. If we can, if not of go angelo like you know, I just want to be happy. I'm about to cast you away down how'd, you think you'll cope while listening to all the songs. I think I'd have a right laugh at while I'm glad
