Adele to quit London

CHART-topper Adele is leaving her beloved London because the ­pollution could ruin her golden vocals.

The Grammy award-winning star shot to fame proudly singing about her Hometown Glory but is set to quit the capital on doctors’ orders.


She is now house-hunting in the countryside after she was warned the city’s air could hinder her recovery from a throat condition.

Ironically, she sang of her love of London in her first hit in 2007, including the words: “I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque.”

The singer/songwriter, 23, whose other chart successes include Chasing Pavements and Someone Like You, had throat surgery for a haemorrhaged vocal cord last month.

The career-saving operation was performed in Massachusetts by the same US doctor who treated Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.

A source said: “The operation went well but she still needs to take good care of herself.

“Adele is a London girl through and through, but she’s never been particularly into the showbiz circuit so when it was suggested she move out of the city, she agreed immediately.

“The idea is for her to live in the countryside, away from the capital’s smog and pollution.”

As the Tottenham-born Brit award winner fights to get well again in time for February’s Grammys, she is looking at properties priced between £2million and £3million in West Sussex.

The source added: “She’s desperate to be fit for the Grammys and be back singing as soon as possible.”

Writing on her website recently after the surgery, Adele said: “The operation was a success and I’m just chilling out now until I get the all-clear from my doctors.”
