Adele Says Throat Surgery Didn't Stop Her From Swearing

The 'Set Fire to the Rain' hitmaker explains how she's still able to spit the foul words though she lost her voice, saying, 'I found this one app where you can swear.'

Adele found a way to swear although she had to rest her voice due to a throat surgery. In an interview with Anderson Cooper on "60 Minutes", the British musician revealed that she did it by using one of the applications on her phone which reads out any words she typed into the device.

"I had an application on my phone that you type the words into it and then it speaks it," the "Someone Like You" hitmaker said. "The great thing is I love to swear. Most of the apps you can't swear on, but I found this one app where you can swear, so I'm still really getting my point across."

In addition, the "Set Fire to the Rain" hitmaker shared her feelings about losing her voice during a performance on a French radio. "It felt like someone put a curtain over my throat. It felt like something popped in my throat," she recalled.

"I had laser surgery. [They] put lasers down your throat, cut off the polyp, and kind of laser your hemorrhage back together and fix it," she went on. She additionally said that if she decided to "go on a 200-date world tour," her voice problem "would happen again."

Adele was diagnosed with a vocal cord haemorrhage back in October 2011. The pop singer had to cancel her remaining shows in order to recover after undergoing a throat surgery in the same year. She will return to stage this year by hitting the stage at 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 12.
