Adele not amused by her speech being interrupted flipped the middle finger
The 32nd edition of the British Phonographic Industry‘s annual pop music or BRIT Awards was held last night Tuesday, February 21, 2012 and recording artist and songwriter Adele made the headlines by dominating the night just like she did at the recently concluded Grammys.
The 23-year-old singer won two awards – the biggest award of the night ‘Album of the Year‘ and ‘Best Female Artiste’ and gave an expected resounding performance of her single ‘Rolling in the deep‘. But it wasn’t all these that make her trend worldwide on Twitter.
Adele had been announced as winner of the top award ‘Album of the Year‘ of the night and was in the middle of her acceptance speech when she was interrupted by show host James Corden who introduced alternative rock band Blur.
‘Nothing beats coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. I’m so proud to be flying the British flag for all of you‘, Adele said…
Then came James Corden…
‘I’m so sorry, but I’m going to have to cut you off‘, Corden told Adele. Adele responded: ‘Are you about to cut me off? Can I just say then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time round‘. Obviously annoyed, Adele threw up the middle finger.
‘I got cut off during my speech and flung the middle finger. But that finger was to the suits at the Brit Awards, not to my fans‘, Adele said later on.
Adele won six Grammy Awards at the 54th edition that was held on February 12, 2012.
