    ‘After I put my son to bed I stopped putting on my brave face’: Adele reveals she suffered with anxiety attacks during her divorce


    Adele has admitted she suffered from an ‘anxiety attack’ as she struggled to cope with the fallout from her divorce. 

    The singer, 33, shares son Angelo, nine, with her ex-husband Simon Konecki, and revealed she would try to put on a brave face until their little boy was sleeping. 

    Speaking on Australian radio station Carrie & Tommy, Adele revealed one of the songs on her upcoming album, 30, features a voicemail she left for her friend as she suffered with a panic attack.

    The Easy On Me singer explained: ‘It’s in the song about my son, it’s at the end, in the outro. I was really frightened.

    ‘I was having an anxiety attack and I called my best friend to try to talk to her to calm me down but she didn’t bloody answer.

    ‘It shines some light on… I’m talking about my son in the rest of the song, and once I put him to bed I can stop putting on that brave face.’  

    Adele and charity CEO Simon, 47, announced they were going their separate ways in April 2019 after nine years together, and their divorce was finalised in March this year.

    While the pair have remained amicable and co-parent their son, the pain Adele felt during their split was the inspiration behind her album.

    Asked what she hopes Angelo will take away from his track, she explained: ‘So often mum is mum and dad is dad, and who they are outside that role is never really discussed in childhood. So it’s more that.  

    ‘And when he does get older he will understand, because life is going to hit him as well, of what I was going through.’

    She added that she would have benefited from having a song written for her when she was a girl growing up in a broken home. 

    Adele’s father Mark split from her mother Penny when she was a toddler and was largely absent from her life while she was growing up.

    Later when Adele became famous, Mark was caught selling stories to the UK tabloid The Sun, leading to a nearly decade long estrangement.  

    The pair were unable to mend their relationship before he died earlier this year in May aged 57 following a battle with cancer.

    Adele mused: ‘I think every parent or child or a parent who has had to be distant, emotionally, at some point in their lives, because of a separation… I could’ve bloody done with it when younger. 

    ‘More than ever, I’ve realised how important music is as a comforter.

    ‘I decided to go all in with this one [album], not only to heal myself but to maybe pass on any knowledge or tools that I might have learnt over the last few years. Because it’s been intense.’

    Tragic: Adele's father Mark split from her mother Penny when she was a toddler and was largely absent from her life while she was growing up. He died aged 57 in March this year
