Adele graces the cover of British Vogue’s October issue. 
 
 Here’s what the 23-year-old English singer had to share with the mag: 
 
 On her pre-show ritual: “I puke quite a lot before going on stage. Though never actually on stage. But then, I s— myself before everything … the bigger the freak-out, the more I enjoy the show!” 
 
 On the entertainment industry’s obsession with weight: “I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I don’t want that in my life. I have insecurities, of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me.” 
 
 On being single: “I do get massively distracted when I’ve got someone in my life, which I can’t afford to do right now. Besides, no one treats me as well as I do.” 
 
 On preferring sons over daughters: “I’ve always got on better with boys. Most of my friends are boys. Like, if I ever have children, I want five boys. Boys love their mothers whereas girls can be so mean to each other.” ||||| Adele denies body issues, owns up to stage fright: 'I puke quite a lot before going on stage'

 Adele has bigger things to worry about than her much-discussed weight. 
 
 
 
 "I've seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down," the "Someone Like You" singer, 22, told British Vogue. "And I just don't want that in my life." 
 
 
 
 As far as feeling peer pressure to fit in with a more traditional Hollywood look, the British star says it's not something she's experienced.

 "It's just never been an issue -- at least, I've never hung out with the sort of horrible people who make it an issue," she shared. "I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me." 
 
 
 
 Especially not any possible suitors. 
 
 
 
 The soulful singer went on to say that until she meets a guy who treats her better than she treats herself, she might as well stay single. And with a career as busy as hers, dating would be a hazard anyway. 
 
 
 
 "I do get massively distracted when I've got someone in my life," she said, "which I can't afford to do right now."

 When she does meet the kind of guy who's worth slowing down her career for, well, he's better be quick on his feet. Especially if he gives the stunning singer butterflies in her stomach. 
 
 
 
 Adele admitted to Vogue that she's quite nervous and often finds herself vomiting before shows due to stage fright. 
 
 
 
 Though it seems her jitters are reserved for the moments before a show and never actually the main event. "I puke quite a lot before going on stage," she told the magazine. "Though never actually on stage." ||||| 'I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that': Adele hits back after Karl Lagerfeld's 'too fat' comment 
 
 
 
 Just a day after Karl Lagerfeld's controversial comments about her weight made headlines around the world, Adele has come out fighting. 
 
 The Someone Like You singer has declared that she is 'proud' of her image as a representative of real women and that she's never aspired to look like the type of women that Lagerfeld sends down his catwalks. 
 
 In an interview with People magazine, the 23-year-old says: 'I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.' 
 
 Speaking to Anderson Cooper on his show set to air in the US on Sunday the singer said: 'I don't want to be some skinny mini with my t*** out. I really don't want to do it and I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about.' UsWeekly has reported. 
 
 
 
 'I've never wanted to look like models': Adele hits back after Karl Lagerfeld's 'fat' comment 
 
 Lagerfeld appeared to have been attempting to compliment Adele during an interview published in Paris newspaper Metro this week, but managed to offend instead. 
 
 Asked for his views on women pop stars, he said: ‘The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.’ 
 
 Controversy: Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld said the singer was 'too fat' 
 
 T he fashion guru, 78, added that the Royal Family were ‘totally unnecessary, but pleasant’. He also called Russian men ‘ugly’ and said Greeks and Italians have ‘disgusting habits.’ 
 
 
 
 Adele Adkins, 23, from South London, has become a huge star in recent years with her two albums 19 and 21 selling more than 23.5million copies to date. 
 
 
 
 Last year she had surgery for a throat illness but is set to return to the stage for the first time since the operation at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. 
 
 
 
 The ‘fat’ comment by Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel, has been heavily criticised. Curves and Chaos, an LA-based blog for full figured women, wrote: ‘Are you freaking kidding me? We’re done with him and Chanel as long as he’s involved with them.’ 
 
 
 
 American PR guru Kelly Cutrone added: ‘If you love Adele then boycott Chanel .’ 
 
 
 
 Adele’s spokesman declined to comment on Lagerfeld’s remarks. The star insists she is not obsessed with her fuller figure or trying to lose weight. 
 
 
 
 She said last year: ‘I enjoy being me; I always have done. I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don’t want that in my life. 
 
 'I'm her biggest fan': Lagerfeld also said he couldn't wait for the release of Adele's next CD 
 
 'It’s just never been an issue – at least, I’ve never hung out with the sort of horrible people who make it an issue.

 The soul sensation has been sporting a smaller frame recently ahead of her upcoming Brits performance. 
 
 It is thought she may have dropped the weight as a result of her recent health battle which saw her have to cancel gigs while she underwent throat surgery.
