Adele has banned herself from Rihanna’s gig

Adele has banned herself from attending Rihanna’s upcoming tour in case she ruins her vocal chords prior to headlining this year’s Glastonbury festival.

The 27-year-old singer is keen to watch the ‘Work’ hitmaker perform on her upcoming tour but is considering making a trip to the West Midlands as the most convenient show, at London’s Wembley Stadium, takes place the night before the ‘Hello’ hitmaker headlines Glastonbury festival and she is concerned the drugs in the air will damage her voice.

Speaking to the audience during her performance at The O2 in London on Saturday March 19 about her decision, the British singer said: ‘I love Rihanna. I’m thinking of going to Coventry to watch Rihanna because she’s playing Wembley the day before I play Glastonbury, and if I got to that, I’ll have no voice, I know it. All that weed in the air – I’ll get stoned.

‘But I love her, honestly, all of that new album I love. I gotta try and see her.’

Adele – who has son Angelo, three, with partner Simon Konecki – announced at her show on Friday  March 18 that she was headlining Glastonbury.

She said: ‘I wanted to do it last year but my record wasn’t ready. And to the people who say I am too boring to headline, you’re more f**king boring for moaning about me headlining.’
