Adele
Yes, even Adele is plagued with anxiety before she gives a show-stopping performance-so much so that she even considered ending her tours for good. “I have anxiety attacks, constant panicking on stage, my heart feels like it’s going to explode because I never feel like I’m going to deliver, ever,” the 31-year-old singer explained.
At one point, she found herself crying hysterically, and found comfort in asking herself: “‘What would [Beyoncé’s alter ego] Sasha Fierce do?’” Since then, she’s used the strategy to boost her confidence on stage and complete the “greatest accomplishment” of her career-her world tour.
