ADELE! Huzzah, she got another magazine cover, this time the December cover of Cosmopolitan. Thoughts on the cover? I know some of you hate on Adele’s nails and her wonky fashion sense, but can you deny that beautiful face? She has such a lovely face. The animal print dress (with black lace details - ugh) is trashy, but it kind of suits her too. The only quote that Cosmo has released thus far is where Adele is humble: “My favorite singers are Etta James and Aretha Franklin. If you were to look up the word singer in the dictionary you’d see their names. Not mine.” Nice.
Meanwhile, did you hear that Adele has now cancelled all of her concerts, worldwide? She has to undergo throat surgery for her vocal cord hemorrhage.

Adele: 'I have all the say;  I have power over everything I do'

I didn’t get off to a terribly good start with Adele.
We had first planned to meet back in August. I’d just made the four-hour journey to London to meet her at 10am when her publicist rang, saying Adele was sick, and couldn’t make it.

Hmm, I thought. Bloody teenagers (Adele had not long turned 20). Got a hangover, more like.
I heard she later cancelled a string of live performances in the US at the final hour.She won’t last in the music business.
She doesn’t have what it takes: the drive, the work ethic, the single-minded ambition.
And then I do, finally, meet her, and I change my mind.
The young women of the world don’t need another role model like Madonna: a hard-working harridan whose private life is in tatters.
What they really need is someone deliciously self-centred, who puts personal freedom and happiness before success. Someone, in fact, just like Adele.

We meet in a house in South London, not far from Adele’s stamping ground of Brixton, where her favourite night out is a meal in a Malaysian restaurant (‘I went to the Ivy, I hate it, I think it’s s***. And Nobu. They [celebrity restaurants] are all rubbish’) followed by a film (she likes gangster movies: Scarface, The Godfather; she admits the last time she read a book she was six, and it was Roald Dahl’s) at the Ritzy.

Adele is in her uniform of black Marks & Spencer jeans, big chunky cardigan and flats. ‘I’m like Johnny Cash,’ she says. ‘I only wear black.’

She looks at my shoes – silver strappy platforms – and her great big green cat’s eyes widen. ‘I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion,’ she says, tucking her legs up under her, doing that big-girl thing of first pulling her cardie down over her bottom, then pulling it across her chest. ‘I don’t find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. I’ve never had a problem with the way I look. I’d rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.’
I ask what size she is. ‘I’m 5ft 9in and a 14, 16.’ Is she under no pressure at all from the record company to go on a diet or exercise? I tell her that when I interviewed girl band All Saints at the start of their career, I snuck a look at their diary for the coming year, and every box had been filled in with dates, promo tours, interviews, photo shoots – and daily work-outs with a trainer in a gym.

Adele snorts, and does her great big hearty laugh, the best laugh in the music business. ‘You can’t go to America and be s***; you could have an amazing figure and they won’t buy it. I could wear a bin liner and they’d still like me.’Last summer, around the time she cancelled our interview, she decided she wanted three months off: she told her record company, publicist and manager that she didn’t want any e-mails, phone calls, texts, nothing.

‘It had got to the stage where friends would call, and I’d be working in Norway or somewhere, and they’d ask me to come round and I’d get annoyed that they didn’t know I was abroad. So for three months I went to the pub, barbecues, saw my cousins.’  She cancelled that string of dates in the US the day before she was due to go. ‘I got in trouble for wasting people’s time but I was desperately unhappy.’

Wasn’t she terrified that she would be dropped, forgotten? The year for her was going so well: a Brit Critics’ Choice award, named the Sound of 2008 by a BBC poll, her first album, 19, at number one in the UK, number one on iTunes in the US.

‘I can’t be a product; no one can do that to me. I have all the say; I have power over everything I do. When I won the Brit award I thought, “I’m going to kill myself.”’

Why? Because it seemed too much like hard work? She nods. ‘If you play up to it, it is hard work. This week, I want three days off. I tell them not to call me.’  She hasn’t let success change her: ‘I’ve never been more normal than I am now.’
What if all this (I gesture at the people milling about for the photo shoot to accompany this interview, the clothes, the make-up artists) disappeared? ‘Recently, I did the New York show and I thought, you’re an idiot [to have cancelled the previous dates], you are throwing away everyone’s dream. But I needed time off, it’s good that I did that.’
