KEY POINTS

  • Adele has Celine Dion's chewing gum framed in her kitchen
  • She described it as her "proudest possession"
  • She said she will meet her fans as soon as COVID-19 pandemic is over

Adele has revealed her “most prized possession” in a new video. In her “73 Questions with Adele” video released Thursday, the singer spoke about a valuable souvenir that she keeps at home and belonged to Celine Dion.

She also opened up about her career, the advice she received from John Mayer and her Grammy.

According to Adele, her most prized possession was gifted to her by “The Late, Late Show” host and friend James Corden. When asked about the item, she playfully said, “It’s pretty amazing,” before she handed the interviewer a framed photo with the label, “Celine Dion’s gum.”

She explained that Corden gave her the singer’s gum as a gift because he knew how much of a Dion fan she was.

“James Corden, who’s a friend of mine, also does ‘Carpool Karaoke,’ which I did,” she said. “He did it with Dion and knew how much of a fan of her I was. So he made her spit her gum into a piece of paper and he framed it for me. It’s my proudest possession,” she added.

In the video, Adele also revealed where her fans could see her perform live. “As soon as possible, I’m ready to go, really. It’s just up to COVID. So just keep on wearing your masks and don’t be spreading that delta and who knows,” she said.

Adele, who is set to release her new album “30” in November, also talked about the piece of advice she received from Mayer after undergoing an operation in 2011 to repair her hemorrhaged vocal cord.

“He was just sort of very encouraging to stay silent and be patient. Actually, my injury was a very common singer’s injury. So, he said not to worry too much about it. He was great. He’s such a sweetheart. I like him so much,” she said, adding Mayer also had a throat-related surgery at that time.

The singer went on to address her unforgettable Grammy moment in 2017, when she broke her award for best album for fellow nominee Beyonce.

“I was just so uncomfortable and nervous up on the stage, trying to give that speech right in front of her. I just sort of twist it off and it fell off in my hand. It felt like fate,” she added.
