Adele gives up pizza for her voice

Los Angeles - Adele has stopped eating pizza for the sake of her voice.

The Hello hitmaker has been warned that scoffing the cheese and tomato dish - her favourite food - could damage her throat and affect her singing ability and give her a painful case of acid reflux.

According to the Daily Star newspaper, she said: "I can't eat pizza anymore, guys! How bad is that? Because it's got cooked tomatoes on it which are bad for your throat and give you acid reflux. How bad is that, that I can't eat pizza."

The 28-year-old singer is currently touring the west coast of America - famous for its mouth-watering pizzas - and is devastated she can't enjoy the country's delightful delicacy.

She explained to her fans in Los Angeles: "I'm in America and I can't eat pizza no more. It's worse than Romeo and Juliet! If only Shakespeare was alive, he could write about it."

And pizza isn't the only thing Adele has decided to cut out of her diet as she's also turned her back on spicy curry.

Speaking on stage in Manchester earlier this year, she said: "I'm unable to sample Rusholme's curry mile tonight as I've been told I've got to carefully protect my vocal cords."

Meanwhile, despite how much she loves naughty grub, Adele is determined to do all she can to prolong her voice after she suffered a haemorrhage on her vocal cords in 2011, which led to her axing her world tour in order to undergo surgery.

Speaking in 2012, she said: "I had laser surgery. [They] put lasers down your throat, cut off the polyp, and kind of laser your haemorrhage back together and fix it. If I decide to go on a 200-date world tour, it would happen again."
