Read More »The Easy On Me singer, 33, explained that she suffered with both psychological and physical problems that were worsened by the break down of her two-year marriage, noting that a gluten intolerance also contributed to her depression. Discussing her battle to get out of bed, during which she simply lay watching The Sopranos despite knowing she 'needed to stay busy', she told Rolling Stone magazine: 'Anything that could soothe my anxiety, I threw myself in headfirst. [I travelled] anywhere where there's meant to be brilliant energy.' She explained that she struggled with the intensity of the reveal and wound up spending increasing time alone due to joint custody - leading to her nights alone without Angelo in the house, watching The Sopranos and dealing with 'this tsunami of emotions' that was hitting her. She said: 'I remember going upstairs, and doing my face, and getting into bed. I felt quite hopeful. It was the first time I felt I'd had a really nice evening and I was OK being in the house and going to bed on my own... 'I was not excited, but I was looking forward to the next day.' It was the next day however that she wound up reclusive in bed, watching The Sopranos instead of keeping busy as she knew she should. She went on: 'I was like, 'This is going to be really f**king up-and-down'' before which she launched her determined drive to overcome her battles. 'Anything that could soothe my anxiety, I threw myself in headfirst. I anywhere where there's meant to be brilliant energy'. She revealed she went to Jamaica, Greece, and a desert in Arizona, before also finding out she was allergic to most forms of gluten, which she discovered can cause depression as a side effect to the sensitivity. Adele said: 'So, I was like, 'Oh, great. Thanks, guys. Could have had a really fun twenties.' The star has made headlines in recent months for her dramatic body transformation, and did admit in her interview she became 'addicted to the gym'. She explained: 'If I can transform my strength and my body like this, surely I can do it to my emotions and to my brain and to my inner well-being.' 'That was what drove me. It just coincided with all of the emotional work that I was doing with myself as a visual for it, basically.' She also shared that when the news of her divorce broke, a close friend flew from London to LA to be by her side and make sure she did not feel alone as the news spread. Gracing the cover of Rolling Stone, the singer confessed she had come so far from the person she was before she tied the knot to Simon that she made the difficult decision to walk away from their marriage. Adele said: 'I didn't really know myself.' I thought I did. I don't know if it was because my Saturn return or if it was because I was well and truly sort of heading into my thirties, but I just didn't like who I was. I didn't really know myself. I thought I did. But I just didn't like who I was.' Reflecting on the end of their marriage, she added: '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*****g devastated me. I was embarrassed. No one made me feel embarrassed, but you feel like you didn't do a good job.' Let's talk: The British superstar talked about music, marriage and family in a far-reaching interview with the publication The mother-of-one also shared that she was initially 'bewildered' by her fans' response to her divorce, with many expressing excitement over the fact the split would likely inspire a new album. She added: 'But in reality, that's not their responsibility. In reality, their responsibility as a fan is to want a good record and to hope I deliver. So I took it with a pinch of salt, and it was fine.' She added: 'If it wasn't coming out now, I think I probably would never put it out.' 'I know I would've changed my mind and been like, 'It's moved on. Let's start the next album.' And I couldn't do that to this album. I feel like it deserves to come out.' The loved-up couple 'met on a dance floor at a mutual friend's birthday party years ago.' She told Rolling Stone that she was initially reluctant to even tell her friends about her new romance, explaining: 'I didn't really tell many of my friends at the beginning because I wanted to keep it to myself.' A 'few' songs on her new album are about her first romantic relationship after her divorce, including All Night Parking - which is 'an ode to the intoxicating feeling of falling for someone new'. 'I lasted five seconds [dating in Los Angeles],' she joked, admitting her close friends even attempted to set her up on a blind date. 'You can't set me up on a f**king blind date! I'm like, 'How's that going to work?' There'll be paparazzi outside and someone will call [gossip site] DeuxMoi, or whatever it's f**king called! It ain't happening.' Adele has found a new home for herself and son Angelo in Los Angeles, purchasing a Beverly Hills mansion for a reported $9.5million in 2016, a far cry from her humble beginnings in working class Tottenham, north London.

Read More »All over: The singer confessed she had become so far from the person she was before marrying ex-husband Simon and made the difficult decision to walk away from their marriage (pictured in 2013) Adele in her own words as she details her depression, love life and strained family relationships On her battle with depression: 'I was like, 'This is going to be really fucking up-and-down.' Anything that could soothe my anxiety, I threw myself in headfirst. I travelled anywhere where there's meant to be brilliant energy' On her divorce: '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*****g devastated me. I was embarrassed. No one made me feel embarrassed, but you feel like you didn't do a good job. I didn't really know myself. I thought I did. I don't know if it was because my Saturn return or if it was because I was well and truly sort of heading into my thirties, but I just didn't like who I was. I didn't really know myself.' On dating: 'Everyone is someone or everyone wants to be someone. I've been so lucky that no one I've been with has ever sold a story on me. I feel like that could really be a possibility. I lasted five seconds dating in Los Angeles. You can't set me up on a f***ing blind date! I'm like, 'How's that going to work?' There'll be paparazzi outside and someone will call [gossip site] Deuxmoi, or whatever it's fucking called! It ain't happening' On her famous friends: 'Jennifer Lawrence and Nicole Richie humanized me because I had avoided talking to anyone that was ever famous in any capacity, because I was like, 'Well, I'm not famous.' I'm very British like that. We never spoke about work, which was amazing, because most of the time when I catch up with someone, they want to know all about my work, and I'm like, I don't want to talk about that.' On her relationship with her late father: 'I don't think I understood the deepness of how I felt about him until we spoke. When he died it was like I let out one wail and something left. I've felt so calm ever since then. It really did set little me free.' On her music: 'If it wasn't coming out now, I think I probably would never put it out. I know I would've changed my mind and been like, 'It's moved on. Let's start the next album.' And I couldn't do that to this album. I feel like it deserves to come out.' Advertisement She admitted that it wasn't until 2013 that she truly began to love LA, having previously considered it 'a ghost town'. The singer has since invested more than $30million into American real estate, and her relocation to the US has inevitably resulted in the development of close friendships with other high profile stars - notably her neighbours, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and TV personality Nicole Richie. She explained: 'They humanized me because I had avoided talking to anyone that was ever famous in any capacity, because I was like, 'Well, I'm not famous.' I'm very British like that. 'We never spoke about work, which was amazing, because most of the time when I catch up with someone, they want to know all about my work, and I'm like, ''I don't want to talk about that. Can we talk about something else? I'm knackered.'' She quipped: 'I know how to trace something online, like no one's business, back to the original source or leak, more than anyone on my team.' Evans, who separated from the singer's mother when she was three years old, passed away aged 57 in May after battling bowel cancer. But she admits she resolved her differences with her father after years of feeling unloved, and made sure he was the first person to hear her latest collection of songs. 'I don't think I understood the deepness of how I felt about him until we spoke,' she said.

'Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome materials to lead with, and I felt like I've finally found my feeling again. I'd go as far to say that I've never felt this peaceful in my life.' She wrote: 'And so, I'm ready to finally put this album out. It was my ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life. When I was writing it, it was my friend who came over with a bottle of wine and a takeaway to cheer me up. 'My wise friend who always gives the best advice. Not to forget the one who's wild and says 'It's your Saturn babes f**k it, you only live once'. 'The friend who'd stay up all night and just hold my while I'd sob relentlessly not knowing why. The get up and go friend who would pick me up and take me out somewhere I said I didn't want to go but just wanted to get me out the house for some vitamin D. 'That friend who snuck in and left a magazine with a face mask and some bath salts to make me feel loved while inadvertently reminding me not only what month it actually was but that I should probably exercise some self care. 'And then that friend who no matter what, checked in on me even thought I'd stopped checking in with them because I'd become so consumed by my own grief. 'I've painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it. Home is where the heart is x'. The superstar crooner even shared that her son Angelo features on the album, telling the outlet that he can be heard on track My Little Love. The song includes 'voice memos of Angelo asking tough questions she tries her best to answer'. Of taking the bedtime recordings, she explained to Rolling Stone: 'If started getting anxious about something I might or might not have said, I could just listen back to this and be like, ''OK, I'm fine.''' She added that the new album is 'about showing Angelo who his mother really is: a layered and complicated woman with an identity outside of their relationship, who's struggled and cried and hurt'. Her debut album 19 was released in 2008, followed by 21 in 2011 and 25 in 2015. The singer looked incredible in a slick white suit with bedazzled detailing as she sat in Oprah's rose garden, similar to the backdrop of Meghan and Harry's famous interview with the TV icon, 67. Their chat took place in CBS journalist Gayle King's back yard. The singer took to the stage at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, California for an intimate concert before sitting down with the chat show host for an interview. The two-hour special, entitled Adele One Night Only, will air on the channel on November 14, five days before the release of her long-awaited fourth album, 30. Oprah opened saying: 'Nobody is more compelling with the truth than Adele.' Adele warned Oprah about her foul-mouthed antics on-stage and joked about her show. Amazing: The singer took to the stage at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles , California for an intimate concert before sitting down with the chat show host for an interview In a further clip released by People, Oprah said: 'The concert tonight is a celebration of your biggest hits and the debut of the new songs of 30. You start with Hello, to which Adele said: 'I always have to start with that because it's a bit weird to get halfway through and do it. So yeah I'm starting with that'. She detailed: 'The show is the first time I'm singing it from where I am now which I think is great. The song to me was the beginning of a time by myself and I hadn't figured out what it was that I had to do for that... 'When I wrote it it was an ode to little me and the old me. It's a song that's saying "I'm still here. Like Hello! I'm still here". In every aspect of my life'. Amazon's heartwarming Christmas advert focuses on the kindness of strangers following the COVID-19 pandemic. The two minute clip tells the story of a young woman returning to something that resembles normal life after the challenges of the last year and discovering the power of kindness. She adds: 'Every day feels like the road I'm on, might just open up and swallow me whole,' with The Sun reporting the mother-of-one is crooning about her ex. 'And I feel like I'm a little bit closer to understanding why so that's what my side is. I have huge amount of feelings as well, it doesn't mean they go away,' she added.
