Adele says quitting coffee has left her suffering from migraines and the shakes
ADELE says giving up coffee is doing her head in — as she has been suffering from migraines and the shakes.
The megastar, 35, revealed she was finding it harder than quitting smoking but belting out her hits on stage has helped ease the caffeine withdrawal symptoms.
The Easy On Me singer revealed: “I decided this week to stop drinking coffee and I’ve had a migraine all f****** week.
“I had a splitting headache for two days because I cut it out. My head was pounding.
"It was like there was a drill inside my head. It was a lot.
“It was harder than giving up cigarettes, harder than when you want to stop drinking.
“I’m disgusted by what these withdrawal symptoms are. I’m not giving in now.
"I did have about 25 decaf coffees yesterday trying to trick my brain into thinking I was drinking coffee.”
She told fans at her Las Vegas residency: “Caffeine and adrenaline must be the same thing because the minute I came on stage and you all started singing back at me, my headache has gone a little bit.
“A nice bit of relief. So, if you see me having the shakes, don’t worry.
