It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Adele. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the wickedly talented singer has roared back into the spotlight and caused fans to put a lot of weight on some well-worn Adele topics, like her net worth, divorce, and new album, as well as some unexpected stuff related to her birthday.
To get to the bottom of why Adele is back in the spotlight, we’re going to take a look at what exactly has got everyone talking again.
Speaking of hogging the spotlight, the GOAT team talk about Elon Musk and Grimes’ strange baby name choice for their new bub on ‘It’s Been A Big Day For…’ below:
It was Adele’s birthday
Yes, the wickedly talented singer turned 32 years old on May 5 and she celebrated by sharing a photo of herself to Instagram. This unexpected birthday post caught fire because Adele hadn’t updated her Instagram for months so fans were probably super surprised by it all.
She’s sold over 120 million records and fans want more
To the surprise of no one, Adele is one of the world’s best-selling music artists with over 120 million records sold and fans still can’t get enough of her tunes.
It’s been five years since Adele released her previous album, 25, but word is that her new album is on the way this September. Presumably it’s going to be called 32 because, well, she’s 32 now.
Adele’s net worth is staggering
Everyone seems to be really curious about the net worth celebrities. Well since that’s what the people want, let’s give it to them.
After a bit of digging, the Sunday Times Rich List has Adele’s net worth at £150 million which is about $290 million in Australian dollars. That’s a lot.
Yet even with that level of moolah in the bank, Adele is “only” the second richest musician in the UK. The top spot has gone to none other than Ed Sheeran, who is living it up with his £170 million (about $328 million in Dollarydoos). Can’t win ’em all I suppose, even if you’re Adele.
Adele is getting a divorce but it’s classy AF
Look, divorces happen and sadly Adele isn’t immune from it. After spending eight years (three of which were spent as a married couple) with Simon Konecki, the couple decided to call it quits in September 2019.
While there’s a lot of speculation into the deets of their divorce, Adele has kept things under wraps (as she’s entitled to) and everything seems to be actually quite amicable between the former couple by most credible accounts.
And I think that’s everything as to why Adele is suddenly in the headlines again. Let’s see, there’s her birthday, net worth, divorce, and new album stuff… yep we’ve covered basically every notable Adele-related topic that people seem to be putting a lot of weight on lately.
Pretty confident we haven’t missed anything about this wickedly talented singer. Nothing at all.
