Adele says she had therapy five times a day after split from ex husband Simon Konecki

Adele has told fans she had therapy five times a day during her heartbreaking split from husband Simon Konecki.

The Hello crooner, 34, split from charity entrepreneur Simon, 48, in 2019 with their marriage officially ending last year. The two share one child together.

As she navigates life in her new romance, Adele says she is now going to see a counsellor again as she revealed she has finally stopped 'holding [herself] accountable' for the divorce.

In a candid discussion with fans, Adele said she is hoping to be on top form during her Las Vegas residency and that she's previously found having a healthy outlet to work through her feelings was massively beneficial.

While talking to the audience on stage at her Weekends with Adele show at The Colosseum in Caesar's Palace on Friday night, she said: "I started having therapy again because I went a few years without. I needed to start.

"Before, obviously, when I was going through my divorce I was basically having five therapy sessions a day.

"But I stopped holding myself accountable for my own behaviour and the things I would say.

"But now I am doing it because I just want to make sure I'm topping myself up every week to make sure I can give you everything."

The Easy on Me songstress confessed that performing live 'fills [her] with dread' and that she doesn't enjoy touring much, but that she's excited about the Las Vegas residency.

The singer found herself getting tearful as she went on: "And my whole therapy session this week was really interesting. It was about these shows.

"I always get so emotional. I love making music, but there is something about performing live that actually terrifies me and fills me with dread.

"That is why I am not a big touring artist. I did it last time to prove I could do it. But this experience of being in a room this size, I think I might be a live artist for the rest of my life."

Adele previously cancelled her residency in January just days before it was due to begin, she says that she did so as a result of her perfectionism.

She said: "I have always put a massive pressure on myself that everything has to be perfect, perfect.

"Obviously this show did have to be f***ing perfect hence me delaying it again.

"I'm sorry. I am just a human and that is what having to cancel those shows needed. I am the happiest I've ever been.
