Adele
Adele thanked her manager in her 2017 Grammys acceptance speech, telling him, “I owe you everything. We’ve been together for 10 years, and I love you like you’re my dad. I love you so, so much. I don’t love my dad, that’s the thing. That doesn’t mean a lot. I love you like I would love my dad.”Adele’s actual father, Mark Evans, admitted to The Sun in 2011 that he left Adele and her mother when the singer was 3 years old. “I was a rotten father at a time when she really needed me,” Evans said. “I was putting away two litres of vodka and seven or eight pints of Stella every day. I drank like that for three years.
