British singer Adele (Adele Laurie Blue Adkins) is known all over the world. She couldn’t even think that she would become so popular because from the very beginning of her career her voice, songs and image didn’t correspond to the rules of show business.
A future celebrity was born on 5 May 1988 in Tottenham, London. As a rule in this district poor families live and Adele’s family was the same. She was brought up only by her mother; her father appeared in the life of a singer only when her name became well known. Adele doesn’t like to speak about her childhood and family.
Her beautiful voice was noticed from childhood. The first public performance of the girl was at one of school concerts where she sang a song Rise. She had a strong voice and broad vocal range; Adele songs impressed everyone. Her friends admired her talent, however Adele couldn’t believe into her success. A great trouble was her figure. Her body measurements were not ideal and till the beginning of 2008 her weight was 134 kg.
Despite this fact Adele entered BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology and successfully graduated from it. In 2006 Adele recorded three demo-versions of songs. The compositions were so successful that her friends without telling Adele posted them on MySpace. Her songs were noticed by the producers of a famous company XL Recordings. As the singer confessed later, when she received a call from the main office of this company she was shocked and thought that it was just a joke. So, in such a way started her way to fame.
In 2007 Adele released the first song Hometown Glory. In a year this composition was nominated for Grammy Award. Later the song Chasing Pavements became the singer’s real hit in Britain and stayed on the top of the chart for a long time.

The first award the singer received even before she released the first album. It was Brit AwardsCritics’ Choice Award – a special award for singers who have not recorded the album yet. But after the moment she released her first album ‘19’, Adele’s name became known to everyone in Britain and all over the world. Seven million copies of this album were sold all over the world. After this triumph Adele toured in the USA and Canada.

The second album ‘21’ which was released in 2011 exceeded all the expectations. Adele received a great number of awards and nominations. The song of Adele Someone Like You, which was included into this album became a real hit and stayed on the top of the chart during five weeks. The inspiration for this song was broken relationship.
In 2011 Adele met her real love, who was Simon Konecki. In 2012 the couple announced that they were expecting a baby.
Now Adele continues working at her new album and constantly gladdens fans by new songs.
Very often Adele was criticized by her weight but the singer said that she wasn’t going to change something with it because she was happy with the weight she had.
