Adele says it still hurts to sing 'Someone Like You', and that she would "do anything" to be back with the lover who inspired it.
The 23-year-old singer said in a US magazine interview that she would not give up her success but that it was hard to sing the songs from her record-breaking album '21' that bring back so many memories of the unnamed lover.
The Grammy award winner is facing an operation on her vocal chords after she was diagnosed with a vocal chord haemorrhage.
