Adele breaks the silence on Chasing Pavements after starting off her ten-night residency at Messe München in Munich.
The singer, who sang on the single for the first time in over a decade, expressed her intention to never perform it again.
She briefed the audience: "The reason I don't sing this song very often — and I shan't sing it again after this Munich residency — is because the way I pronounce the words in this song when I was 19 years old, I sound like I'm 19 years old."
The Hello hitmaker admitted that the passionate delivery of the song makes it difficult for her to sing the words with the same fervor and enthusiasm every time.
Hinting to her age, the singer stated, "And when I sing it now, I still sound 19 years old, which irritates me. But I'm going to do it for you because I love you, and the Germans have always loved this song. But I will only do it if you join me!"
Although the singer recognized her fans' love for the song, she made it plain that she had no plans to play it again, making a promise to her 19-year-old self.
