BIOGRAPHY OF ADELE
Someone says that the world of show business is cruel and complex. And these words, of course, are not without meaning. However, sometimes in this world of treachery and intrigue there are truly fabulous stories. One of them is the creative biography of the British singer Adele.
Today she is known and loved on all continents, her voice is heard on the radio, and photographs adorn the covers of authoritative music publications like the Rolling Stones. At 19, she released her first album, which made her a star, and three years later, Adele’s next record won several Grammys and became four times platinum in the UK. As a girl from North London reached such heights and changed the established rules of success in show business
CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY
The future star of the world music scene Adele Laurie Blue Edkins was born on May 5, 1988 in Tottenham, an area in the north of London that is notorious for frequent riots and thriving organized crime. At least that was the case in those years. Only immigrants from Arab countries and the poor lived in this part, and the family of the future singer belonged to the second category.
Adele’s parents, Penny Edkins and Mark Evans, met in 1987 in one of the city’s pubs. She was an 18-year-old student of art, and he was a person with no particular occupation for a little over 20. They began to live together, and Penny soon became pregnant. Choosing between studying at the university and the birth of her daughter, the woman chose the second. Adele was born two weeks ahead of schedule. Shortly after giving birth, Mark asked Penny for her hand, but she refused, believing that she was still too young for the marriage.
The father left the family when the girl was 9 months old. From him, the artist only had a stack of records of jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald, as well as her middle name – Blue, in honor of Mark’s favorite musical genre, blues. For a while Adele and her mother visited him, but when the girl was three years old, he disappeared from her daughter’s life for many years. Mark moved to Wales, where he began to drink and almost did not take part in raising his daughter: neither financial nor emotional. In 1995, he found a new love, and Adele had a half-brother Cameron. He is very similar to Adele both externally and in character.
Father reappeared in Adele’s life when her success was talked about throughout Britain. It was at this moment in a number of English-language media that the singer’s father’s interview appeared, to which she reacted very violently and ambiguously, noting that “this person has no right to talk about her.”
This is a 2011 article in the British tabloid Daily Mail. The publication paid Macro Evans for personal details from Adele’s life, and he, experiencing financial need, easily agreed. Adele was indignant
Since childhood, the closest people in Adele’s life were mother and grandfather on the father’s side. It was they who fostered the desire to sing in the girl. To pay the child for vocals, Penny worked in three places: she was a massage therapist, furniture collector and organized training courses for adults. Adele loved to sing and studied with the teacher almost every evening.
Grandfather replaced the girl’s father, but in 1999 he died of bowel cancer. After that, Adele and her mother moved to South London and rented an apartment above a discount store along with another neighbor.
FIRST STEPS TO SUCCESS
Adele became interested in singing at 4 years old, imitating the voices of the participants of Spice Girls. “In many ways, they formed me as an artist,” says the singer. The first public performance of the future British pop star was the performance of the song “Rise” from the repertoire of singer Gabrielle as part of a school production. A little later, she became interested in r’n’b and pop rock like singer Pink
Possessing a strong chest voice and a wide vocal range, the girl amazed everyone with her ability to sing beautifully, stretching literally beyond the limit notes. She was admired by friends and acquaintances, but she herself did not believe in the possibility of success – her figure was far from ideal (until 2008 the weight of the artist was 134 kg), and she never had any wealthy sponsors.
And yet, after listening to the opinions of loved ones, Adele went to audition at the famous London School of Performing Arts and Technology, which previously studied Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and many other English stars. The audition turned out to be successful, and Adele began to study music with the best teachers in Britain.

ADELE’S PERSONAL LIFE
As we mentioned above, the album “21” is inspired by experiences after breaking up with a man. But Adele, a rather private person, does not advertise the name of the “culprit”. Fans could only guess – who is this man who broke the heart of a popular darling? First, the handsome Slinky Sanbim, the singer with whom Adele was credited with the novel in 2008, was suspected. But the singer herself put a bullet in these rumors: “Those who say that know nothing about us from Slinka. He’s not even my type. ”

Candidates also included producer Mark Ronson, who worked on Adele’s first album; comedian James Corden, a good friend of the singer; Klaxons frontman Jamie Reynolds. But all the guesses were in vain. Neither the powerful fan club, nor the journalists, nor the paparazzi have ever opened the veil of secrecy over the name of the anonymous boyfriend. Fans of the singer christened him “Mr. 21”. In 2011, Adele met true love. Simon Konekki – the owner of a large investment holding became the chosen actress. Simon is 14 years older than Adele, but this fact did not interfere with the lovers. By the way, the song “Someone Like You” from the same album “21” is dedicated to him.
October 19, 2012 the couple had a son, who was named Angelo James. After the birth of a child, news about the allegedly upcoming wedding of happy parents began to appear in the American and British press with enviable constancy. Finally, during a concert in 2017, Adele made a statement of her marriage, after which the audience exploded with applause. In March, she and Simon secretly married in Los Angeles, having a ceremony in their own home.
