Adele used to not appreciate her gifted voice. Although she is a singer, she is afraid of the feeling of having to stand on stage.
According to Elle, not much is known about Adele's behind-the-scenes life, as the singer has always kept it private. Even a video of her dancing at the Oscars after-party in April was taken down after it went viral on social media.
Adele last appeared before the audience in October 2020 during her first time hosting Saturday Night Live. It wasn't until her 33rd birthday on May 5 that the Hello voice rarely revealed her private moments.

At the age of 33, Adele has identified a remarkable musical career, not to be confused with anyone. Behind that success are the truths about the female singer that not all audiences know.
She almost lost her voice because of smoking
Adele's voice belongs to the contralto - bass female, with a way of singing mainly in her chest voice. Experts assess that the breath of "British plumber" is not really deep and full, but causes strong sobbing in low notes.
According to Classic FM, Adele has a two-tone, one-note and one-half-tone (C3 to Eb5) range. She mastered the deep and solid mid-ranges, with weight. Adele conveys emotions by knowing how to repress and release her breath, but without exaggerating the lyrics.

However, Adele did not preserve, even almost lost her gifted voice due to smoking a lot. There was a time when she lost her voice, had to constantly cancel shows and was absent from award ceremonies.
“It was like someone put a veil over my throat,” Adele told The Rolling Stone of the tough times. She shared that the nasopharyngeal surgery in 2011 had successful results, but it took up to 2 months to rest and limit talking for about half a year to ensure the wound fully recovered.
After the surgery, Adele's voice not only returned to normal but also better than before. Doctors say Adele's vocal range has been extended by four notes.
The singer confided, "That surgery made me realize that my voice is different. I can sing more easily on difficult notes that I thought I would never try before.”
Quit shows because of boyfriend
Many singers emerged from the YouTube platform, then entered the music market like Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish. Adele was also known to be the internet phenomenon, but she came up from MySpace. When she was in school, friends voluntarily posted Adele's songs on this social network and helped her become famous.
Entering the art world, Adele has achieved continuous achievements and the frequency of the female singer's activities since 2006 is very thick. Fans are concerned that if she goes to the show non-stop, her health will decline.

In 2008, the voice of Rolling In the Deep announced the cancellation of the tour across the US in the surprise of the audience. However, when knowing the truth, many people laughed.
According to Nylon magazine, Adele accepted to quit the million-dollar tour just to spend full time with and take care of her boyfriend. She recounted this story in an embarrassed tone in front of the media: “I didn't think much at that time. I just want to be with him. I couldn't believe what I did."
Adele insists she regrets canceling the show and calls herself "grateful".
Years later, it's not strange to cancel shows with Adele. However, this is not a matter of love.
Having stage fright
According to Stylist, Adele is reminded of the hits Rolling In the Deep, Someone Like You, Hello ... and countless confident and explosive performances. However, Adele actually suffers from stage fright.
She recalled on Rolling Stone: “At the end of the show in Amsterdam, I left the exit with extreme anxiety and panic. And that time in Brussels, I threw up on someone."
About the feeling of singing at the Live in New York City show many years ago, the Hello voice said: “I saw the crowd and my limbs felt like they were falling apart. After the 2nd or 3rd track, I got chills. I fidget, groan, complain, and I'm always trying to get rid of that feeling."

Adele refused to open the tour because of the obsession with the feeling of standing in front of hundreds of thousands of people. She was also afraid of applause because it made her vulnerable. The singer did not know why.
Speaking at Mount Smart Stadium, the singer said: "Touring is not my forte. I don't know if I should do another tour or not. The only reason I go on tour is for you, dear fans.”
Adele describes her heart breaking as she stands on stage. Health and mental problems also did not allow the singer to nod to accept an advertising invitation for the Glastonbury music festival.
Studies show that the cause of stage fright is experiencing negative emotions from family, friends, and colleagues; low self-esteem in appearance, voice, voice, or any other defect about who you are. Adele never talked about this in depth.
What Adele doesn't like
According to Elle magazine, Adele inherently hates the feeling of flying. The noise of the aircraft engine during takeoff and landing made the female singer uncomfortable. But because of the nature of the job, which requires frequent travel, Adele had no better choice.
The Mirror reports that psychologists have shown that Someone Like You is the perfect song to calm nerves on a plane. “The tempo of the ballad is 67 beats per minute, not much different from the human heart rate per minute. The song's harmonious timbre helps ease the feeling of anxiety in the air," the source wrote.
That's also why Adele often plays her hit song every time she has to travel by this vehicle.
2020 is considered an exceptional change in Adele's appearance. The female singer has lost a total of 45 kg, her appearance is noticeably thinner.
Responding to the media, Adele's manager said that the singer decided to lose weight to have a healthy parenting time, as well as mark some renewal after the divorce event. At this time, new readers find the line of contradictory statements that Adele once declared: "I swear I will never be thin".

Adele's irreconcilable rift to death with her father
The English nightingale Adele did not accept her alcoholic father for many years, even until he died last week at the age of 57 from cancer.
Adele just celebrated her 33rd birthday in her £8.5 million Hollywood mansion with her eight-year-old son and other stars including actress Jennifer Lawrence and singer Harry Styles. Meanwhile, her estranged father, Mark Evans, spent the last days of his life in a simple mobile home in a park in Llantwit Major, South Wales. He has been battling bowel cancer since 2013 and died alone a few days ago.
Mark Evans was cut off by both Adele and her half-brother Cameron over the past 10 years. But the relationship between Adele and her father is worse. They never reconciled, although Mr. Mark once claimed that they were connected. Despite the pleas of the public and the fact that her father revealed the diagnosis of bowel cancer, she still did not let go of the grudge. Sources close to the singer believe that she sees her father's death as a "liberation".
Adele hasn't seen her dad since she was 11, but the real rift came in 2011 because of an interview with Mr. Mark Evans. Adele was furious when her father claimed that her daughter inherited her voice and that of her grandmother, that he was a major influence on her music. In that supposedly ill-advised interview, Mark also guessed that Adele was unhappy in her private life because of the absence of her father. Those were words Adele could not forgive.
Adele grew up with the love and care of her mother while her father abandoned her at the age of 11.
Mark Evans has spent the past 10 years apologizing to his daughter, but he never received a response. He said it was even easier to contact the US president. "I've been texting, writing and sending her birthday and Christmas cards, but Adele seems to think I'm dead. I don't care about her fame or money, I just want to be Adele's father like old times and his son's grandfather."
However, Adele has not had many memories with her father since childhood when he abandoned her and her mother.
The Adele family story begins in 1987 when Mark Evans met Penny Adkins - Adele's mother - in a pub in North London. At that time, Mark was a handsome, attractive Welsh worker and Penny - the daughter of a vegetable vendor - was a student at Barnet College of the Arts. Penny had thought about going to college when she began her relationship with Evans, but within two weeks she was shocked to find out she was pregnant. She decided to keep the baby instead of going to college and went to live in a state click-income apartment. Penny, 18, was born Adele in Tottenham, North London. And Mark Evans is 25 years old. They tried to maintain a romantic relationship but found nothing in common. When Adele was three, her parents separated. Since then they have had very little contact with each other.

Mark returned to Wales and worked for his father, who ran a cafe at the Barry Island fair. He rarely contributes financially to raise his daughter. Mark explained: "Penny never wanted anything from me. Sometimes I gave her money, when I could." Adele once confirmed that she did not receive support from her father, but she said: "It's okay, I don't feel like I lack anything."
Adele said that her mother not only raised her but also nurtured her love of music and helped her take the first steps in a career as a singer. At the age of 5, Adele sang Gabrielle's Dreams at family gatherings. At the age of 11, the mother and daughter moved to West Norwood in South London. At the age of 14, she began attending the BRIT School of the Arts in Croydon. Two years later, she has her own manager. In her late teens, after getting a record deal, she moved out to live on her own in a rented apartment in Notting Hill, West London. However, after a few months, she moved home - a modest apartment in West Norwood - to her mother. And that's where she wrote her first hit album 19, released in 2008.
"I miss my mom so much that I couldn't really work without her," Adele said. "She's my best friend." When she achieved great success in her career, Adele emotionally thanked her mother in public. "Mommy, your daughter is doing great!," Adele said on the 2012 Grammy stage after winning six awards.
The singer bought her mother a £600,000 house in London. Mrs. Penny was very happy, but as a modest and reserved person, she never accepted interviews or showed off her daughter.
On the contrary, at that time Mr. Mark Evans began to openly talk about his famous daughter. Mr. Mark shared his deep regret over their fractured relationship. In a 2011 interview, Mark said, "I wasn't there for my daughter when I should have been and I've regretted every moment of my life up until now."
Evans insists he played an important role in her daughter's musical development: Back then, I used to lie on the sofa all night, holding Adele (as a kid) in my arms and listening to my favorite music: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan and Nina Simone. Night after night, I listen to those records. I'm sure that's what shaped Adele's music. The music that I loved and still love to this day gave me the idea to give her her middle name Blue. I always think of Adele as Blue."
Mark added that after breaking up with Adele's mother, he still picked up his daughter to stay with him on vacations. "Adele came to live with me the summer after her 4th birthday. She brought a small acoustic guitar she got from a charity shop. She said she was learning to play by herself by listening to the blues songs we used to sing. I listened to her on my tape recorder. Adele taught herself for years and by the time she was 7 years old, I knew she was going to be a big star one day."
Dad's share did not make Adele emotional, but on the contrary. The singer was angry because her father claimed credit for shaping her music. Meanwhile, since 1999, Mr. Mark has not seen his daughter.
Mark Evans confirmed that she had not seen her children since she was 11, but blamed circumstances. Mark said that at that time he drowned himself in alcohol to forget the grief after the death of his father from cancer. "I drink two quarts of vodka and seven to eight liters of Stella a day. I've been drinking for three years. God only knows how I survived. I'm so ashamed of who I am and I know it. The best thing she can do for Adele is make sure she never sees me like that," Mark explained.
Not only abandoning Adele, Mark also broke up with his longtime girlfriend Siobhan - the mother of son Cameron. Later, Cameron also from his biological father.
Adele said the last time she saw her father was at her grandmother's funeral, when she was 15, and they never made up. While Mark told the press that the father and son were close again and that he was the proudest dad in the world, Adele never confirmed. Until Mr. Mark expressed concern in an interview that Adele's love affairs broke down because he abandoned his daughter, the singer said angrily: "I'm ready to start trying to have a relationship. a relationship with him, but he blew it up. He'll never hear from me again, because nothing annoys me more than my dad being bribed by the press. He dared to comment on my life. He said: I love her so much! Is it true? Why did you tell me that in a newspaper? If I met him, I would spit in his face." .
Adele's father feels deeply hurt by this "cruel statement" from his daughter. But Adele did. She did not invite her father to the wedding, did not tell him about her husband Simon Konecki or announce that she was pregnant and gave birth to boy Angelo.
Adele is living with her son in a mansion in Los Angeles.
Every time he has the opportunity to give an interview to the press, Mark still says how proud he is of Adele and only wishes the best for his daughter. But still he was never forgiven. In 2013, Mark was diagnosed with cancer and he said the father and son made up. However, at the 2017 Grammy Awards, Adele once again stated that she is not related to her father. When accepting the award, the singer thanked her manager: "We have been together for more than 10 years. I love him like my father. I love you very much. I don't love my father, really. so".
Prior to 2019, Mark Evans worked as a truck driver for £50 a day and lived in a rented flat in Bridgend, South Wales. He later moved to Ham Manor Park and lived in a mobile home there. Mark does not need to pay rent, in return he works as a babysitter for other residents.
Adele currently has a fortune of 150 million pounds, used to be the richest young singer in the fog for many years. She recently divorced businessman Simon Konecki and moved to Los Angeles to settle down, starting a completely different life. The female singer lost weight, worked out in the gym, received therapy and made friends with Hollywood artists.
A friend of the Someone Like You singer revealed that, right now, all Adele wants is to get rid of her old self, old sorrows and failed relationships in the past, including with her father. and with ex-husband Simon Konecki.
