Adele ‘nearly quit music for good’ after success of ‘21’

Adele was so worried about living up to the success of 21 that she nearly quit music for good.

Her Grammy and Brit Award-winning album has sold over 30m copies worldwide since its release in 2011.

Speaking to Graham Norton for Adele At The BBC, which airs tomorrow at 8.30pm on BBC One, she said: “I just got really worried that I was never going to make anything that anyone liked again. It was just being self-critical of myself, it was nothing else other than that.
