MAG Fab: Adele Covers ‘Vogue’…

By Sherice Major on | From shesomajor.com

We love, love, love Adele.

The British songstress graces the March 2012 cover of Vogue magazine looking magnificent.

While Karl Lagerfeld had some chose words for the “Someone Like You” singer’s weight, the Grammy winner shows she’s confident and proud of her voluptuous shape in a cleavage baring lace top for her cover look.

In the issue, Adele opens up about the surgery she underwent for ”recurrent vocal cord hemorrhage,” how she prepared for her major comeback and much more.

On her personality: “I am quite loud and bolshie. I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud. If people are more than an arm’s length away, you shouldn’t talk to them. “But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,” she says, laughing. “It’s really bad.”

On her surgery: “I knew my voice was in trouble and obviously I cried a lot. But crying is really bad for your vocal cords, too! Some [stream of unprintable invective here] spread a rumor that I had throat cancer. Everyone thinks it’s worse than it is. I stopped for a bunch of builders today at the office who wanted a photograph, and they were like, ‘How’s your throat?’ Everyone is so worried.”

On not being able to speak after surgery: “I think I just needed to be silenced. And when you are silent, everyone else around you is silent. So the noise in my life just stopped. It was like I was floating in the sea for three weeks. It was brilliant. It was my body telling me to fix me. I had so much time to kind of go over things and get over things, which is amazing. I think if I hadn’t had my voice trouble, I would never have broached those subjects with myself. Now I just feel really at peace. And really proud of myself. I’ve never fully appreciated the things that I’ve achieved until now. In fact, my entire life has changed in the last ten weeks. I’ve never been so happy, and I love it.”

On fame: “I hate the red carpet. I don’t feel insecure, I just feel like, Oh, I don’t want to do this. I literally get a stomach cramp. At the VMA’s last year I felt really out of my comfort zone because there were so many superstars there. But that’s been the case from day one. I never feel like, Oh, yeah, I should be here. And I was missing my best friend’s hen night. So I was a bit bitter that I wasn’t there, to be perfectly honest.”
