Adele reveals most fans have been mispronouncing her name

Adele has confessed that most of her fans have been saying her name wrong. 

Speaking during Happy Hour with Adele with Benito Skinner after her ‘I Drink Wine’ music video was released, one fan asked her about writing 30 and her journey to self-love.

The fan, talking on a video, happened to nail the pronunciation of her name in the process, leaving Adele impressed. 

Referring to an area near where she was born she said: ‘Where’s she from, Enfield? She said my name perfectly!’

The mother-of-one then said that she prefers people to call her ‘uh-dale’ instead of ‘uh-dell’, staying true to her North London roots and accent.

Answering the fan’s question she said she was very in control of her life after she released 25. 

She explained that she had just had her son and it was a 9-5 job. Adele added that she would go to the studio and felt safe in her private life.

The 34-year-old added that by the time she got to 30 she had to accept that she had ‘no idea’ what she was doing and had no control of her life, explaining that she just had to ‘ride the wave.’

Adele said that she had felt weak and like a bad person when working on her latest album but going to the studio got her out of bed. 

She had been working on the new music after splitting from ex-husband Simon Konecki. 

After finishing the album, she said that her faith was restored in herself again.  

She had said in another interview with YouTuber NikkieTutorials that she would not use her surname as it ‘did not have the same ring as Adele’

According to Adele, Mr Skinner, who was hosting the Q&A, was equally confused by how her name is pronounced.

The 34-year-old is not too bothered if you have been saying her name wrong but she would not be as happy if you used her surname.

She had said in another interview with YouTuber NikkieTutorials that she would not use her surname as it ‘did not have the same ring as Adele.’

Also in the chat, she said that she thought her last name was ‘drab’ and did not work as a stage name.
