Even the world’s biggest stars can have anxiety. Yes, even Adele. You heard me: Adele, a 15-time Grammy winner, doesn’t like performing.
After her touching and very real tribute to George Michael at the 2017 Grammys, you would think Adele could do anything. But her stage fright might be getting the best of her. The singer announced at her Auckland concert on Sunday that this tour could very well be her last.
“Touring isn’t something I’m good at…applause makes me feel a bit vulnerable.” She then got straight to the point, telling the audience, “I don’t know if I will ever tour again.”
Can you hear my heart breaking? How will we live without her?
We might just have to say goodbye. Adele has opened up about her anxiety in the past. “I have anxiety attacks, constant panicking on stage. My heart feels like it’s going to explode because I never feel like I’m going to deliver, ever,” she told Q Magazine.
Though Adele can sell out arenas with the snap of a finger, it’s not worth sacrificing her own mental health. Here’s hoping she can overcome her stage fright and anxiety because a world without Adele concerts doesn’t sound like a world I want to be a part of.
