Adele is known as one of the most successful artists in the world at the moment. As the career flourishes, the female artist’s private life has many low notes. Two years ago, Adele divorced her husband Simon Konecki. She also did not have a happy childhood when her father left her when she was young. Later, when it was successful, Adele still did not forgive her father, not even going to see him one last time when he died.
Adele lives in a £8.5 million Hollywood mansion with her eight-year-old son, while her father, Mark Evans, spent the last days of his life in a simple trailer park in a park in Llantwit Major, South Wales. He battled bowel cancer since 2013 and passed away alone last week.
Not only Adele, her half brother Cameron also did not see Mark Evans face for many years. Despite the pleas of the public and the revelation of her father’s diagnosis of bowel cancer, Adele still did not let go of the grudge. Sources close to the singer believe that she sees her father’s d.eath as a “liberation”.
Since the age of 11, Adele has not seen her father. In an interview, Mr. Mark made Adele extremely angry when he claimed that his daughter inherited her voice and that of her grandmother, that he was a big influence on her music. Mr. Mark also guessed that Adele was unhappy in her private life because of the absence of her father. Those were words Adele could not forgive.
Mark Evans has spent the past 10 years apologizing to his daughter, but he never received a response. He once said that it is sometimes easier to contact the President of the United States than it is to connect with a daughter. Mr. Mark revealed that he texted, wrote letters and sent birthday and Christmas cards to his son, but Adele seemed to consider his father non-existent.
“I don’t care about my daughter’s fame or m.oney, I just want to be Adele’s father like in the old days and be his son’s grandfather,” Mr. Mark confided.
Mark Evans’ tearful confession could not make the audience sympathize with him after knowing what he had done in the past.
In 1987, Mark Evans met Penny Adkins – Adele’s mother – in a pub in North London. At that time, Mark was a handsome, attractive Welsh laborer and Penny – the daughter of a vegetable vendor – was a student at Barnet College of the Arts.
Penny planned to go to college but gave up on her dream because she found out she was pregnant. At this time, Penny was only 18 years old, she gave birth to her daughter Adele in a state click-income apartment. Penny and Mark tried to maintain a relationship but failed. When Adele was 3 years old, her parents separated.
Mark returned to Wales and worked for his father, who ran a cafe at the Barry Island fair. He rarely contributes financially to raise his daughter. Mark explained: “Penny never wanted anything from me. Sometimes I gave her m.oney, when I could.” Adele once confirmed that she did not receive support from her father, but she said: “It’s okay, I don’t feel like I lack anything.”
Adele said that her mother not only raised her but also nurtured her love of music and helped her take the first steps in a career as a singer. At the age of 17, Adele got her first recording contract. She once moved out to live on her own, but then moved back home because she couldn’t live without her mother.
“I miss my mom so much that I couldn’t really work without her,” Adele said. “She’s my best friend.” When she won six awards at the 2012 Grammy Awards, Adele emotionally thanked her mother in public: “Mom, your daughter is doing great!”
After the success, the singer bought her mother a £600,000 house in London. Mrs. Penny is very happy and proud, but being a modest and reserved person, she has never accepted an interview or bragged about her daughter to anyone.
In contrast, at that time Mr. Mark Evans constantly gave interviews about his famous daughter. Mr. Mark shared his deep regret over their fractured relationship. In a 2011 interview, Mark confirmed he had an important role in her daughter’s musical development: “Back then, I used to lie on the sofa all night, holding Adele (as a kid) in my arms and listening to my favorites: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan and Nina Simone, night after night, I listen to those records. I’m sure that’s what defines Adele’s music. music that I loved and still love to this day gave me the idea of naming her middle name Blue. I always thought of Adele as Blue.”
Mark added that after breaking up with Adele’s mother, he still took his daughter to stay with him on vacations: “Adele came to stay with me the summer after her 4th birthday. She brought her earned small acoustic guitar with her. from a charity shop she said she was teaching herself to play by listening to the blues songs we used to listen to on my tape recorder Adele taught herself for years and by the time she was 7 years old I knew that one day it will become a big star.”
Dad’s share not only did not make Adele emotional, but also made her angry. The father and son have not seen each other since Adele was 11 years old, so it is impossible for Mark to affect her music career. The fact that her father took the credit made Adele hate him even more.
Talking about not seeing his daughter, Mark blamed the situation. He said that period was drowning in alcohol to forget the d.eath of his father with cancer.
“I drink two quarts of vodka and seven to eight liters of Stella a day. I’ve been drinking for three years. God only knows how I survived. I’m so ashamed of who I am and I know it. The best thing she can do for Adele is make sure she never sees me like that,” Mark explained.
Not only abandoning Adele, Mark also broke up with his longtime girlfriend Siobhan – the mother of son Cameron. Later, Cameron also refused to meet him.
Adele said the last time she saw her father was at her grandmother’s funeral and they never made up. While Mark told the press that the father and son were close again and that he was the proudest dad in the world, Adele never confirmed. Until Mr. Mark expressed concern in an interview that Adele’s relationships broke down because he abandoned his daughter, the singer said: “I’m ready to start trying to have a relationship. a relationship with him, but he blew it up. He’ll never hear from me again, because nothing annoys me more than my dad being bribed by the press. He dared to comment on my life. He said: I love her so much! Is it true? Why did you tell me that in a newspaper? If I met him, I would spit in his face.” .
Adele’s father feels deeply hurt by this “c.ruel statement” from his daughter. But Adele says it can be done. She did not invite her father to the wedding, did not tell him about her husband Simon Konecki or announce that she was pregnant and gave birth to b.oy Angelo.
Every time he has the opportunity to give an interview to the press, Mark still says how proud he is of Adele and only wishes the best for his daughter. But still he was never forgiven. In 2013, Mark was diagnosed with cancer and he said the father and son made up. However, at the 2017 Grammy Awards, Adele once again stated that she has no relationship with her father. When accepting the a.ward, the singer thanked her manager: “We have been together for more than 10 years. I love him like my father. I love you very much. I don’t love my father, really. So”.
Prior to 2019, Mark Evans worked as a truck driver for £50 a day and lived in a rented flat in Bridgend, South Wales. He later moved to Ham Manor Park and lived in a mobile home there. Mark does not need to pay rent, in return he works as a babysitter for other residents.
Adele currently has a fortune of 150 million pounds, used to be the richest young singer in the fog for many years. She recently divorced businessman Simon Konecki and moved to Los Angeles to settle down, starting a completely different life. The singer lost weight, worked out in the gym, received therapy and made friends with Hollywood artists.
A friend of the Someone Like You singer revealed that right now, all Adele wants is to get rid of her old self, old sorrows and failed relationships in the past, including with her father. and with ex-husband Simon Konecki.
