The singer previously revealed that she “stopped drinking” following her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki and death of her father Mark Evans from bowel cancer in 2021, during her CBS special interview with Oprah Winfrey.

"That’s one great way of really sort of getting to know yourself, is just drinking water and being sober as anything,” she told Winfrey, 69, in the special.

During her residency concert over the weekend, Adele spilled the details about her birthday plans for son Angelo — who turns 11 on Thursday.

“We have got a busy week coming celebrating him. He is very much like me because I take my birthday very seriously,” Adele said, per Mail Online. The “Easy on Me” Singer — who is currently datin sports agent Rich Paul — shares son Angelo with ex Konecki. 

Adele added that her son will have “a whole month celebration” to mark his upcoming birthday.  

“From a very young age he seems to have adopted the same point of view, which isn’t quite as fun,” she continued. “He is my son and, obviously, I adore him and he is like, ‘Can I do this and do that?’ "

'“I am like, ‘That is very expensive. You are 11 shouldn’t we be having a tea party still?’ But you know 11-year-olds in 2023 are like going on 25!” the singer joked. “He is more savvy in every way than I am and I ever have been or ever will be. That is my week, so I guess my update next week will be, being a bullied mother probably!”
