7. The names of Adele's albums are the age of when she wrote them.
8. Adele became well-know when she preformed in class one day and her friend videotaped it and put it on MySpace, leading to the call of XL records.
9. "Someone Like You" was written because Adele had been dating a guy that she thought she was going to marry and found out he was cheating on her and planned on marry another girl. This was sympathy to her.

Adele is still is still alive. She was only born in 1988, making her 23. She'll be 24 in May.
Adele is still alive, and very much popular. She just won two grammies.
My opinion of Adele is that she is very talented. I think it's really cool that she has an accent but she can sing like she's an American. She won two grammies and I believe she deserved them. Also I think it's really miraculous that she had throat surgery and wasn't supposed to be able to sing for 3-4 years, but she can. She's a good person to look up too. It's pretty cool that she can prove that you don't have to be skinny to be famous.
