In a performance that was supposed to be Adele’s triumphant return to the Grammy’s after a four year career break, sound issues marred the star’s performance on stage.
Academy President Neil Portnow also said that the show switched to a backup sound system during Adele’s song which caused the audio to drop for a few seconds at the beginning of her performance.
The technical glitch came on a night plagued with disappointment and drama.
Despite winning three Grammys even triumphant Taylor Swift was disappointed – shedding a tear after missing a note during her Out Of The Woods opening act.
