What is happening between them at the moment?
Adele's biography: how this conflict started
Adele Adkins was born on May 5, 1988 in Tottenham, England to Penny Adkins and Mark Evans. The father left the family when his daughter was 2 years old. This is one of the reasons why the famous singer does not want to do anything with him.
From the age of 4, Adele was engaged in singing, as it was her favorite hobby. She performed on stage at school. Then she entered the London School of Performing Arts and Technology, which she successfully graduated from.
After that, she released her first 2 songs.
She has 3 albums in total. One of them, "19", refers to the popular African genre of soul. The lyrics describe heartbreaking relationships. The second album "21" combines American country and blues music, which Adele fell in love with. You can hear confessional tracks in it: about a broken heart, introspection and forgiveness. The third studio album was called "25". The singer admitted that it contains everything that she has ever done. There is a longing for the old self in the songs, nostalgia for the old days that Adele misses so much.
The talented singer has received numerous awards for her success in her musical career. Among them are, such as the "Golden Globe", "Oscar", "Grammy", a large number of awards from MTV, Billboard and many others.
Relationship with mother
The singer maintains a great relationship with her mother. In 2013, Adele bought her an apartment that cost her $1 million. The housing was located in the prestigious area of London - Hotting Hill. Thus, the talented singer expressed her gratitude to her mother for her support throughout her life.
Undisguised hatred
Judging by the statements and actions of Adele, she really hates her own father. Mark Evans left their family when the future celebrity was still very young. Also in one interview, Adele claimed that he betrayed her when he sold information to the press for money, which the singer considers absolutely unacceptable. She claimed that she was ready to forgive Mark Evans for leaving the family, but his betrayal ruined everything, and nowthe singer only hates him more.
Mark himself admits that he loves his daughter and regrets that he was not with her while growing up. He often watches her performances and feels ashamed of himself. According to him, Adele and his father John were very close friends, and when he died, the girl was completely confused, and Mark Evans himself became addicted to alcohol out of grief, as a result of which he became even more distant from his daughter. According to him, all the pain that Adele's heart had to experience can be heard in her songs.
Soon Adele became pregnant, and the boy Angelo Adkins was born. His birth Mark Evans was very happy. However, the singer did not allow her father to see her grandson, continuing to be offended by him. Mark had to ask her about it through the press. He claimed to be seriously ill with cancer and wanted to see the boy before he died.
Halfway to reconciliation
After so many years of feuding with her father Mark Evans, Adele decided to give him one last chance after learning that he was terminally ill and had recently undergone a complicated operation. According to sources, the reconciliation happened thanks to Adele's grandmother. The singer declined to comment on her actions, perhaps continuing to resent her father, while Mark happily announced that they were fine and now he and his daughter are on a normal relationship.
