She has risen from modest beginnings in a cramped South London flat to become one of the biggest stars in the world.
And yesterday Adele was celebrating after she took home six Grammy awards – stopping to thank the mother who brought her up single-handedly. The 23-year-old with the big voice was honoured at one of the biggest nights in music for the emotional songs that have taken her to number one in both the American and British album charts. Adele won all six categories she was nominated in, scooping song of the year for Rolling In the Deep, which she performed to a standing ovation. She also received Grammys for best pop solo performance for Someone Like You, best pop vocal album and album of the year for 21, and record of the year and best short form music video for Rolling In the Deep. |
