I Was So Embarrassed, I Cried All Day- Adele

Adele has revealed that she was left in tears after sound issues marred her highly anticipated performance at the Grammy Awards. During the British star's long-awaited for performance of her song All I Ask, a microphone fell onto the strings of an accompanying piano.

Academy President Neil Portnow also said that the show switched to a backup sound system during Adele's song which caused the audio to drop for a few seconds at the beginning of her performance.  The singer's powerful voice cut out shortly after she launched into singing her hit All I Ask at the event in Los Angeles. As fans raced to adjust the volume on their TV sets, Adele could be seen singing, but only the misplaced sound of what appeared to be a guitar was heard. Even after Adele's voice resumed, the volume wavered, before it eventually stabilized after five to six seconds.

The singer admitted that she's nervous more than ever before performing as pressure mounts along with success. “I cried pretty much all day yesterday, I don't feel like it could go that much worse than the Grammys though. So I feel like I'm alright now. Anything that happens, dust it off! Sound check was great. Went really well. I was really excited. And then during the changeover, the microphones fell onto the piano strings which is what the guitar noise was. Some people thought it was Bieber rehearsing, but it wasn’t him. We’re on great terms. And then it kind of put the whole thing off really 'I heard it straight away. And I wanted to turn, I knew what it was because in rehearsal on Saturday they were like we’re going to double mic the piano just in case one doesn’t work. And I knew where the mic was and I wanted to turn around and lift it up, but I froze”

The Hello singer said she felt 'so embarrassed' afterwards, but will be ready next time a mishap occurs during a live performance. “Next time I have any sound issues I am gonna stop. I'll be like, sorry that's not working for me. If we have time to do it again, let’s do it. Otherwise, bye!'
