I drank four bottles of wine before lunch and then quit booze, says Adele

SINGER Adele has revealed she drank four bottles of wine before lunch one time and then decided to quit booze.

She made the admission while holding a glass of vino on stage as she finished the first leg of her Las Vegas residency in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The ‘Chasing Pavements’ singer, 34, made headlines in 2019 by losing more than seven stone after slashing sugar and booze from her diet.

According to the Daily Star, she told fans on Saturday night: “I remember when I came here in Covid, in lockdown, it was 11am and I was definitely like four bottles of wine in – like we all were.

“I said in 2020 that I wanted to put my album out. And we were all at home just drunk basically.”

She last year told Oprah Winfrey during a CBS interview she had “stopped drinking” in the wake of her estranged dad Mark Evans dying from bowel cancer in May 2021 aged 57, and after her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki, 48, the same year.

The singer, who has son Angelo Adkins, nine, with the charity boss, and who is now dating sports agent Rich Paul, 41, said: “I stopped drinking.

“That’s one great way of really sort of getting to know yourself, is just drinking water and being sober as anything.”

Adele will return to Vegas in June after he residency was extended due to popularity.

During an emotional final performance on Saturday, she said she felt the residency was a highlight of her career and admitted the shows — which have seen her sell more than 100million records worldwide — had given her back a purpose.

But she became emotional as she opened up about her cancellation at the start of last year, adding: “It was the worst thing I’d ever felt in my career.

“And the f***ing s**t people were saying about me. Jesus Christ.

“People are mean. “They wanted me to f***ing die.”

Defiant Adele, who comes from Tottenham, then continued: “I came back and, as usual, I smashed it.

“That was definitely the London woman. You definitely cannot take that out of me ever.”

The Someone Like You singer also opened up about her decision to put on a residency, and revealed her relationship with American sports agent Rich Paul was a major driving factor.
