Adele says we’ve been pronouncing her name wrong all this time

There’s a subtle but crucial difference…

Adele has said that the vast majority of us have been pronouncing her name wrong all her life, and revealed how it should be said.

“Where’s she from, Enfield or something? Love that,” Adele asked during the chat. “She said my name perfectly,” the singer added with a smile, noting that she’d had a discussion with chat’s host earlier about how her name should be pronounced.

“He came and asked me how I say my name and I said ‘Uh-del.’”

It’s a subtle difference, but basically it’s all about putting the emphasis on the second syllable in her name.

Going on to answer Annie’s question, the singer said that, in stark contrast to when she was writing 25, she “didn’t rate herself as a human being” when writing 30.

In the buildup to writing 30, Adele divorced from her partner of eight years, with whom she shares a son, 10-year-old Angelo.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about the separation, Adele said: “It made me really sad. Then having so many people that I don’t know know that I didn’t make that work… it f**king devastated me.

“I was embarrassed. No one made me feel embarrassed, but you feel like you didn’t do a good job.”

The album was a huge success though, going to number one in the UK and becoming the biggest selling album of 2021.
