Adele recently hosted a “happy hour” to promote her new video for “I Drink Wine”, and she took questions from the audience.

After hearing a woman from London pronounce her name “perfectly”, Adele then explained the proper pronunciation herself.

Chances are, you’ve been calling her uh-DEL all this time.  But it turns out, it’s more like uh-DALE, or huh-DALE.

You can watch the video here; just skip ahead to 21:21. (PROFANITY WARNING: There’s no profanity in this particular segment, but elsewhere in the video, she drops some curse words.)
