This is what artists are all about and I’m so proud of you.” Adele accepted the award and made a ‘teary’ eyed speech where she gave gave her manager Jonothan Dickens thanks, she said “I got signed really quickly. I read my reviews on my first album, like a d***head. I took it on board that critics said my songs weren’t as good as my voice. So thank you for that.
