Adele's son doesn't like her music

London - Adele's son doesn't like her music.

The 27-year-old singer has admitted she loves to sing to her three-year-old son Angelo, whom she has with her longtime partner Simon Konecki, but she's restricted to popular nursery rhymes because he's not a fan of her tracks.

Asked if she regularly sings to her child, she said on BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans' Breakfast Show: "Yeah I do. He doesn't really like my music. So I sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Peppa Pig."

The Grammy Award-winning star has just released her new single Hello after spending four years away from the music industry and she has admitted she hates performing live.

She explained: "I do really love performing but I can't get over my nerves, I don't really enjoy it until I'm off stage."


The crippling anxiety the blonde beauty experiences on stage sometimes means she forgets the words to her songs.

Asked if she ever makes up the lyrics she said: "Yeah or I just pass the microphone to the audience and say, 'Oh you sing it.' Or I'll stop and ask if I can start again. And I have to ask my guitarist what's my lyric."

She added: "It just doesn't feel that natural standing on stage with a light on you with loads of people watching you, waiting to be entertained. It just frightens me."
