I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to come to a show! Lot’s of love, Adele.”Reacting to the delivery, Chinouriri took to Twitter/X to write: “Help how do I recover from this,” adding: “I’m shaking … violently.”She continued on Instagram, saying: “I know this stuff is sometimes not a big deal to some other artists, but I think because I went to BRIT School, I remember seeing Adele standing on the stage and she was like, ‘I used to be like you,’ when she was performing.“And she pointed down to the bit and I was in the pit,” she said. “I remember being like, wow, that’s so cool — I’ll never be able to do that, though.”THANK YOU ADELE.
