Angered Adele Gives The Finger To The Brit Awards
Author: katy | Filed under: Music NewsAward winning Adele found herself at the centre of a television controversy, after giving a rude one-fingered gesture at the recent Brit awards.
The stunning ‘Someone Like You’ star had recently arrived back in the UK after attending the highly prestigious Grammy Awards, where she picked up a whopping SIX awards. The star, who appeared absolutely ecstatic with her overseas triumph, arrived back in the UK before heading straight over to the equally as esteemed Brit Awards show – with her new beau Simon Konecki in tow.
However, despite going on at the Brit Awards to achieve even further success, picking up the awards for both ‘Best Female Artist’ and ‘Album of the Year’, the singer’s night took a sudden turn for the worse. After being announced as winner of ‘Album of the Year’ for her highly acclaimed album ‘21’, Adele took to the stage amongst an uproar of cheers from the crowds. However, within moments of taking to the microphone to give thanks to the fans that had voted for her, an apologetic looking James Corden approached the stage to cut her speech short.
On realising that she was being asked to leave the stage, a shocked looking Adele was heard to ask ‘Are you about to cut me off?’ Before adding, ‘Can I just say then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time around’. Controversially, the singer from West London then proceeded to show cameras her middle finger before leaving the stage.
Despite apologising later for her actions, claiming that the gesture was intended for the show’s producers, Adele was relieved to learn that the majority of fans and celebrities supported her in her actions, believing that the star had been treated unfairly by the show.
