Adele has said that she regrets enlisting her "idol" Damon Albarn's help for her new album because they were unable to complete a suitable of her new record, and he later publicly criticised her saying she is "middle of the road" and "insecure".
Adele collaborated with many people on her upcoming third studio album 25, and was excited to get the opportunity to work with Blur frontman Albarn because she was a huge fan. Unfortunately for the Hello hitmaker however, things didn't go to plan.
"It ended up being one of those 'don't meet your idol' moments," Adele told Rolling Stone. "And the saddest thing was that I was such a big Blur fan growing up. But it was sad, and I regret hanging out with him."

Commenting on their attempted collaboration she said, "None of it was right. None of it suited my record. He said I was insecure, when I'm the least insecure person I know. I was asking his opinion about my fears, about coming back with a child involved - because he has a child - and then he calls me insecure?"
Albarn's work wasn't the only material to hit the cutting room floor however with Adele adding that there is almost a full album of songs that she isn't using, "Some songs are not f***ing good enough. And I think that's where a lot of people go wrong, thinking that people will buy any old s*** from you."
