Adele didnt take it to kindly when she was right in the middle of giving an emotional acceptance speech about how she was proud to be flying the flag for Britain and she was interrupted by Brit Awards host James Corden to introduce Blur.
The singer, who had won the top award of the night, Album of the Year, flipped the middle finger to show just how annoyed she was.
Adele, who earlier performed a stunning rendition of Rolling In The Deep, said afterwards it was ‘to all the suits’ of the show.
The 23-year-old was on stage accepting her second award of the night – after taking home Best Female Artist – presented by George Michael. She said: ‘Thank you so much, thank you, thank you very, very much.
‘Nothing beats coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. ‘I’m so proud to be flying the British flag for all of you.’ James then appeared on stage, met by boos from the crowd, and said: ‘I’m so sorry, can I just cut off?’
Adele said: ‘Are you about to cut me off? Can I just say then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time round.’
She then proceeded to flip the bird, amid cheers from the audience.
James introduced Blur, who performed three songs. The group had earlier won the Outstanding Contribution Award and frontman Damon Albarn got away with made a rambling speech – the longest of the night.
The producers of the Brit Awards really should have planned the show’s run time better, or at least made sure the winner of the British Album of the Year Award had enough time to finish an acceptance speech.
Adele, the first artist to sell three million records in a year in the UK, thanked her record company ‘for letting me be the kind of artist I wanted to be’.
She added: ‘To all the fans no one’s made me feel like I’ve had to be any different.
Host James Cordon joked afterwards: ‘That’s one hell of a successful tranny’.
Adele last Sunday won six Grammys in the U.S., including album of the year.
She made her live comeback following surgery on a throat hemorrhage last year and credited her boyfriend Simon Konecki – who accompanied her to the event – with helping her recover from the major procedure.
