Adele Lashes Back at Breastfeeding Critics at London Concert: "Some of Us Can't Do It!"

"It's f*cking ridiculous, and all those people who put pressure on us, you can go f*ck yourselves, all right?" Adele said. "Because it's hard. Some of us can't do it. I managed about nine weeks with my boobs."

Adele was responding to a recent comment from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, EW reports. He recently criticized British moms for not breastfeeding, saying that the country had a "problem" with women not using the practice.

For Adele, who gave birth to her first child Angelo James Konecki in 2012, the ability to use formula was a blessing.

"I mean, I loved [using formula]. All I wanted to do was breastfeed and then I couldn't and then I felt like, 'If I was in the jungle now back in the day, my kid would be dead because my milk's gone.' It's not funny!" she exclaimed between songs.

In fan-captured video, Adele also interacted with the crowd several times at London's O2 Arena. She sang "Happy Birthday" to a young fan, praised Mariah Carey and draped a British flag around her shoulders throughout the concert.

Adele's current tour is in support of her new album 25, which was released in November 2015. Her next show is set to take place on Tuesday, March 29, in Birmingham, England.
