Grammy-winning singer Adele has reached a rare level of fame where she's known to millions by her first name alone.
However, it looks like most people have been pronouncing that name wrong all this time.
In a Q+A posted online last week, the 34-year-old songwriter shocked fans when she revealed the right way to pronounce 'Adele'.
During the event, the 'Hello' singer praised a fan for the way they said her name while asking a question.
The fan appeared via video link from London and - speaking with a thick north London accent - asked Adele: "On your journey to self-love while writing 30, did your perspective on how you saw yourself when you wrote 25 change at all, and how."
"Cheers babes, love ya," she added.
Watch the full Q+A here (the question comes at 21:11):Overjoyed, north London-born Adele replied: "Love that. She said my name perfectly!"
She went on to tease host Benito Skinner for pronouncing her name 'ah-dell'. According to the singer her name is supposed to be pronounced 'uh-dale' instead.
The hour-long special event in Los Angeles was held to mark the release of the star's latest music video for her hit track 'I Drink Wine'.
Watch the full music video below:Fans took to Twitter to share their astonishment over the new pronunciation. One person tweeted in shock: "We’ve been saying [Adele's] name wrong this whole time???"
Another wrote: "Adele saying her name is pronounced HUH-dele is throwing me off because why would that be correct?! Your name literally starts with an A?!"
Meanwhile, the 'Skyfall' singer isn't the first celeb to stun fans by revealing the proper way of saying their name.
Earlier this year, Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan sent heads spinning when she implied that people had been pronouncing her surname wrong for years.
In her first-ever TikTok video, the star told fans: "Hey everyone, it's Lindsay Lohan, and guess what? Now I'm on TikTok!"
Watch the TikTok below:Rather than the way people have been saying 'Lohan' for years, Lohan herself stressed the "o" instead of the "a" - so the name sounded almost like "Lowen".
