British singer Adele has revealed that she became overwhelmed when she arrived in Miami to record her huge hit album ’21’. The award-winning artist arrived at the very famous recording studio ‘Shangri-La’ and couldn’t believe that she was in the same place where some legendary artists have also recorded. Adele ended up having a breakdown and had to walk off her emotions on the beach in order to get her head around it – she just couldn’t believe it and found the experience overwhelming:
‘The first day I had a breakdown. I lost it and started crying and had to go for a walk on the beach to sort myself out. After that, I was fine though I still had the odd moment. Between a take, Rick would talk to his engineer and say, ‘Remember when we had this problem with Johnny Cash?’ Then one day Kid Rock dropped by to do a vocal for something while I was outside having a fag. It all felt like an out-of-body experience.”
When touring for her previous album, Adele also comments that she panicked a little when trying to pen more material. She says that she just couldn’t concentrate while on the road, even though she has always wanted to write while touring – it just turned out to be something she couldn’t do:
”I always hoped I could write when I was on tour but I couldn’t do it. ‘How did I cope? I didn’t. I f***ing panicked.”
