Adele may be one of the most influential musical stars today, but the "Hello" singer could not even tweet her millions of fans her personal "hello" without having her message approved by two people.

The reason behind the two-person approval system is her past drunken tweets, admits Adele whose newest video, now with more than 260 million hits on YouTube, is the second-fastest video to reach 100 million videos on the site, reports CNET.

Adele points out that she has quit drinking, but she recalls that during the early days of Twitter, "I was drunk tweeting and nearly put my foot in it quite a few times." This led her management to require her tweets to be approved by two people and the messages are signed off in the microblogging site by someone else.

But the singer stresses that she pens her tweets, although it has to be approved by two people.

A scan of Adele's Twitter history in her ADELE 25 @Adele account, which has more than 23 million followers, shows that her early tweets in 2010 were mostly retweets of articles about her blog and album. Majority of her more than 200 tweets over five years were sober. Her management team likely erased Adele's past drunken tweets.

Adele is scheduled to appear in a BBC One one-hour special on Nov. 20 when she would perform classic songs and tracks from her new album "25." She also discusses her life and career, including her drunken tweeting days. It is Adele's first TV performance since she sang the James Bond movie theme song "Skyfall" at the Oscars in February 2013, reports BBC.
