Boy George Tells Adele To Stop Smoking

Boy George has warned Adele that she needs to give up the gaspers if she wants to look after her throat following her recent operation.

The 23-year-old underwent microsurgery on her vocal chords to stop persistent bleeding from a benign polyp.

And George reckons that she should look after her throat better now, saying: "If you're a singer and you smoke it really isn't a great idea.

"I gave up smoking six months ago which was the best thing I ever did. I used to try to convince myself it made me sound jazzier.

"It was very difficult to give up but I'm so glad I did."

Of course George might be accused of being a tad hypocritical, since he waiting until he was 49 to quit the habit, but we suppose it's the thought that counts.

Adele is reported to have been lined-up to perform in the final of The X Factor next month.
