Biography
May 5, 1988 marks the birth of Adele, a British singer-songwriter who was born in Tottenham, London, England. Her early upbringing was distinguished by the absence of her father, Mark Evans, who left the family when she was just two years old, despite being raised by a young single mother named Penny Adkins. Adele’s music career didn’t involve pursuing higher education, as she didn’t attend college while growing up with her brother Cameron O’Sullivan.
Adele attended the prestigious BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon, London instead to sharpen her skills and passion for music. Adele graduated from that place in May 2006.

Adele’s relationship with charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki began in 2011. October 2012 marked the arrival of their son, Angelo, to the couple. Although they were married in 2018, they announced their separation in 2019, and finalized their divorce in 2021.

Two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, were awarded to her for her 2008 debut album, ’19’, which was both a critical and commercial success.
Her second and much-anticipated studio album, ’21,’ was released in January 2011 and named after her age during recording. The album was well-received and she was applauded for its classic American R&B and jazz style. The record was a major hit due to its hits such as ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and ‘Someone Like You’.
The theme song ‘Skyfall’ for the James Bond film of the same name was composed and recorded by her in 2012. The song became a hit after its release and reached No. 2 on the ‘UK Singles Chart.’ The track also made it onto the ‘Billboard Hot 100′ at No. 8, selling more than two million copies in the United States in its first three days.
