With her soulful voice and touching lyrics, Adele has captured hearts worldwide. But recent statements from the singer have fans abuzz with curiosity. While many have been swept away by her latest hit, “I Drink Wine,” they were equally intrigued when she voiced regret over not attending university and hinted at a potential break from music.
“After Las Vegas, I would love to get a degree in English Literature. If I had not succeeded in singing, I would definitely have become a teacher. I think I will become an English teacher.”
Tracing Adele’s Roots
Born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham, London, Adele’s life journey is as rich as her music. Her childhood memories from Brockwell Park, where she serenaded friends with her guitar, shaped her. The neighbourhood of West Norwood, her home after stints in Brighton and Brixton, inspired her inaugural song, “Hometown Glory.”
Adele’s passion was nurtured at Croydon’s Brit School of Performing Arts and Technology, where she was peers with notable artists like Leona and Jessie J. A place she acknowledges for fostering her prodigious talent.
Stepping Away from the Mic?
Adele’s recent revelations about desiring an English literature degree have ignited speculations about her potentially distancing herself from the music industry. The starlet’s aspirations don’t end at academics. Aspiring for the silver screen, she has expressed an interest in acting and even approached director Baz Luhrmann.
“I sent him a message saying, ‘I wish I also was in this movie, please do not retire and let him do something,’”
Yet, Adele’s stage presence remains undiminished. At a recent Las Vegas performance, she made headlines by pausing mid-song to address a disturbance involving security guards and a fan. In true Adele fashion, she addressed the issue head-on, ensuring the fan’s enjoyment was not hampered.
