According to a new biography by Marc Shapiro, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Adele may have struggled with alcoholism in her earlier years. Though she was only 19 years old when she released her first album, "Adele: The Biography" claims she was doing some heavy drinking early on in career. Find out another detail about the singer at :50 in the video below.



The 24-year-old singer once said in an interview, "I got so drunk by the time I went on at 2 a.m. I had forgotten the words to my own songs... It was the worst thing ever." Shapiro writes, "Adele would drink more than normal to salve the heartbreak ... Midway through her first tour [between 2008 and 2009], she allegedly had a drinking problem." Are you surprised by the news that Adele was once an alcoholic?

    Alcoholism is a DISEASE folks !! There is no cure, only the CHOICE not to DRINK !! Evidently she has made the choice to quit, good for her!!
    To those that keep bringing up her weight, there are many reasons why a person may be overweight and making comments about it here is just being ugly !!

    She is a(n) (ex) smoker and obese, so, she clearly is prone to issues with addiction and/or self-control. I'm not at all surprised.

    Everyone has their baggage in life.

    It just seems to be en vogue to discuss these issues publicly. IF I had such an affliction in MY past, I would want it to STAY in the past!

    Also, addiction is never something one can use past tense to discuss! There is NO cure! IF an addict picks up again, in terms of consumption, they will be right back to where they left off inside of 10 days (usually much less!).
    My best friend counsels recovering opiate addicts (usually heroin), and the ones that had a "bundle a day habit" can stay clean for years. Then ultimately, something comes along (the one I am using as an example lost his mom to a drunk driver) that they do not have the coping skills to handle, and he picked up dope. Within four days, he was right back to "a bundle a day" despite his 4 year clean streak. I was absolutely amazed to hear this from her. The young man in the example was just as shocked that his "habit" picked up right where he left off in spite of all those clean years! He is back on the wagon, and just had his two years of sobriety anniversary.

    Once an addict, ALWAYS an addict, the only difference is the CHOICES, and ACTIONS one chooses in their daily life.

    Yes I thought and think she has a fat problem. I think she struggles with pies and burgers. The poor buggers always lose the battle, down her gullet they go.

    Lighten up you silly mare. It's a joke. She is a great big fattington though. She says so herself. Possibly however if she slimmed down she wouldn't be as good a singer.

    Interviews don't help her career. She is a loud mouth and a smart ass. My wife was a huge fan until she actually her speak. Now, we kinda think the whole "sad sob ex boyfriend" story might just be made up to get an album up and going. Remember Alanis Morrisette? yep. exactly. [:~D]

    Most people will not get famous and be a Hollywood star without becoming a drug addict, alcoholic, or a victim of the the sex predators in the industry (which pushes many of these stars into drug abuse and alcoholism).

    Yes and No, it's a very common problem, but I was abit surprised it happened to Adele, she comes across as very stable and together type of person. Wish her all the best.
