Adele hates her celebrity status.
The 33-year-old singer is one of the best-selling artists in the world, but show business also has its downsides. For example, the musician does not enjoy the fame and attention that has been paid to her over the past ten years. Actually, Adele would much rather be an unknown private person.
Adele – ready to release her long awaited new album ’30’ – now told Zane Lowe on ‘Apple Music 1’: “I think it’s hilarious that my damn job makes me an artist. But fame comes with it and I’m not after it. I don’t like being a celebrity at all … and that’s my story and I feel like I’m taking the telling of my story back. “
Adele, however, feels strong about her new album. She believes it is also an important record “that other artists can hear”. The London-born star, who has nine-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki, added, “I was on my own. I did everything by myself. If I want to thank someone, it’s me. Because I was really, really committed to myself. And yes, I think it’s an important record to listen to for other artists as well, those who I feel are encouraged not to appreciate their own art, and that it’s all massive and get-it-while -you-can should be. Because that’s not what artists are. And I know some of them who feel this pressure. “
