Adele: ‘I Cried All Day’ After Grammy Award Audio Glitch

Adele at the 2016 Grammy Awards

The music superstar admitted ‘she cried all day’ after sound issues detracted her performance of the song ‘All I Ask’ at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

The Hello hitmaker was criticised after taking to the stage to belt out her power ballad All I Ask but later explained to fans what had gone wrong and that she wasn’t out of tune.

The Artiste took to twitter saying: “The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that’s what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune. S*** happens.”

The 27 year old singer revealed that she cried pretty much all day during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Adele had the most popular album in the US last year, but was not nominated for the Grammys.

This was because the Grammy eligibility period for the 2016 ceremony extended from Oct. 1, 2014 to Sept. 30, 2015.  Adele’s 25 Album was released Nov. 21, nearly two months after submissions closed for the upcoming ceremony.

The Superstar insisted she will be be ready next time something goes wrong during a live performance and be more of a diva.

‘I don’t feel like it could go that much worse than the Grammys though. So I feel like I’m alright now. Anything that happens, dust it off!’ Adele said.

Item Found In Sambisa

In continuation of their exploits against the Boko Haram terrorists, troops of 81 Battalion and 251 Task Force Battalion, have intensified offensive actions against the terrorists.

Last night, the troops laid ambush against some elements of the Boko Haram at two of their crossing points at Komala and Musafanari general area coming from Sambisa forest.

The ambush party decisively dealt with some terrorists on motorcycles in which a number of terrorists were killed and a few others flee with gunshot wounds. The troops recovered one AK45 rifle with registration number 56-2614519, in addition to a magazine containing 9 rounds of 7.62mm (Special), 6 motorcycles, 2 bags of salt and other assorted food items as well as various Improvised Explosive Making Devices (IEDs).

The recovered items clearly shows that that the terrorists were out for a nefarious mission which was aborted by the timely ambushes. Consequent upon this, we wish to implore members of the public to kindly oblige us with timely information on the Boko Haram terrorists to enable the military and indeed the security to deal with them decisively.

The troops in various axis of the theatre are poised for the clearance of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists in our country.
