Adele used a phone app to swear when she was unable to speak

  • February 9, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Adele has described how she resorted to using a mobile phone app to com­mu­nic­ate while under orders not to speak, reports US Weekly.

In a clip from a new CBS doc­u­ment­ary about the singer, she is seen telling presenter Anderson Cooper how she was able to use tech­no­logy to make her feelings heard following an operation on her vocal chords in November.

"The great thing is, because I love to swear, most of them [apps] you can't swear on but I found this one app where you can swear, so I was still really getting my point across," she said.

On the moment she realised something was wrong with her voice, the 23-year-old said: "[It was] like someone put a curtain over my throat… And I could feel it. It felt like something popped in my throat."

The doc­u­ment­ary is due to air in full this Sunday.
