Adele is a famous British singer who managed to climb the musical Olympus instantly. A beautiful voice, memorable motives of songs, as well as unsurpassed behavior on stage are fundamental hallmarks of a woman.

 

Her announcement of the end of the concert activity shocked all loyal fans.

 

Despite the voluntary closure of the music business, Adele's songs continue to be heard in many people's homes. Today we will talk about the most interesting facts from the biography of this famous woman.

 

Biography

 

1. Parents

The baby was born on May 5, 1988, in an area called Tottenham, located in the northern part of the British capital - London. Many migrants and representatives of low-income families lived here.

 

The parents of the future star met in one of the bars. Their relationship developed rapidly; the young student became pregnant after a few months.

 

The flared passion went out very quickly; Adele's father left the family and left his little two-year-old daughter. Soon the man moved to Wales, where he developed a strong addiction to alcohol. The star heard the news from their dad when she became famous, but she never recognized him.

 

2. Growing up

Her grandfather and grandmother played an essential role in the girl's life. Also, her mother took great care of her daughter, who worked as an organizer of adult training courses. After some time, the small family moved to the city of Brighton (which is located on the southern coast of the country). In this place, the baby lived for only two years and then returned to London again.

 

3. On the way to success

In early childhood, love for music and great talent began manifesting in Adele Laurie Blue Adkins. She loved to practice vocals: special lessons with a teacher took place almost every evening. The British woman demonstrated her talent at school when on one of the holidays, she performed the composition “Rise” belonging to the singer Gabrielle in front of students and teachers.

 

 

4. Leisure

The girl loved to spend her free time in a park called Brockwell, where she often rested with her friends. Young people gathered to listen to Adele, who sang and played the guitar.

 

The Briton received her primary education at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology. After graduating, Adkins published her first songs in 2006 by uploading them to the Internet on the MySpace service.

 

A big surprise for the girl was a call from representatives of the studio XL Recordings, who stumbled upon a demo. This event marked the beginning of Adele's meteoric career.

 

Career

 

5. Quick start

The track called "Hometown Glory" was a huge success. This composition was even nominated for a Grammy (one of the most popular awards in the world of musical art).

 

6. Follow-up work

After her massive success, Adele embarked on her first North American concert tour.

 

After some time, the girl released a new album called "21" (again named after the beauty's age).

 

The history of the creation of her songs is fascinating. The composition "Take It All" was created on the emotions after a quarrel with her boyfriend. The hit "Rolling in the Deep" was also invented due to an accidental phrase thrown by a young man toward his girlfriend (he said that the lady's life would become utterly worthless without him).

 

Well, within the framework of “Rumour Has It,” the question of the worthlessness of people who love to spread gossip is raised. In this album, many fans highlight the song "Lovesong," which covers the music by The Cure.

 

Together with Adele, Rick Rubin worked on the album, who was against the use of dance rhythms in the compositions (although the singer herself wanted to make them sound more modern).

 

7. Third album

After the second album, Adele decided to take some rest and even gave birth to a child.

 

A grand comeback came in 2015. The announced album was supposed to be an absolute triumph. Many British colleagues even postponed their releases as they were afraid of competition.

 

As a result, the work called "25" was purchased by more than 20 million people. The most popular singles were "Hello" (about love and attitude towards one's maturity), "When We Were Young," and "Million Years Ago."

 

 

8. Awards and nominations

Adele has won a considerable number of popular awards.

 

In total, she has more than 129 prizes and about 300 nominations. She even won two of the most famous film awards (Oscar and Golden Globe) for her composition "Skyfall," which is the soundtrack to the James Bond film "007: Skyfall", released in 2012.

 

She has several Billboard Music Awards, BMI Awards, and as many as 15 Grammy Awards to her credit. Thus, Adele right now is one of the most titled singers of our time. In addition, some of her achievements are noted in the Guinness Book of Records.

 

The girl's merits were recognized even by the government of Great Britain. At the age of 25, she became a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. In 2009, the letter to Adele was sent by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom himself. The politician thanked her for her creativity and her active social position.

 

9. Leaving the stage

At the beginning of 2019, Adele shocked all her fans.

 

At thirty and in the prime of her career, the Briton decided to stop her concert activity completely. The reason for such an act deserves respect: the woman decided to devote all her free time to her family.

 

Beauty has officially closed her music business. In an interview, she noted that she is a real homebody and does not like to spend time on tour. Loyal fans took the news very painfully.

 

10. Adele Challenge

Recently, the Internet was filled with videos dedicated to the "Adele Challenge." This action began after a regular user David Kasprak decided to publish a video in which a gummy bear began to sing a song in the voice of Adele, and thousands of such gummy bears started to sing along with him.

 

The idea was supported by other users who began to create and publish similar videos. Thus, cards, dominoes, plants, tires, Lego, and other unimaginable objects sang.

 

This flash-mob was based on a video recorded at one of Adele's concerts in London. At the time of the song "Someone Like You" performance, dedicated to former love, the audience decided to start performing the composition along with the star.

 

Personal life

 

11. Family, children

In 2011, Adele's life changed dramatically. She began dating a successful businessman named Simon Konecki. In the fall of 2012, the star gave birth to a boy.
