⭐️Adele’s One Night Only extravaganza proves she’s at the very top of the showbiz firmament.
It’s a very long way for a girl from Tottenham to have travelled.
But, with all the glitz and glamour it must be asked - has Adele been ‘ruined’ by Hollywood? telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/…
⚖️Adele’s particular glamour has always stemmed from her ability to be both at once: the big-haired, high-glam diva, and the down-to-earth Londoner with the dirty mouth.
In the trailer she promised: “It will look really elegant, and then I’ll tell a load of filthy jokes”
While she delivered on the first part – wearing a lavish black gown for the concert and a sleek white suit for the interview – there was a sad lack of smut in the chat.
No wonder she found herself looking for consolation in “intention-setting rituals” and the gym.
🇺🇸These are reasonable ways of negotiating painful experiences, but there’s no getting around the fact that they’re very Hollywood ways of dealing with painful experiences
Adele’s persona is of someone who’s just like us – but inevitably, massive success means she’s becoming one of them.
⭐️This is, of course, an unavoidable consequence of the kind of spectacular fame that Adele has achieved telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/…

📸After Dr Alex George found fame on Love Island in 2018, strangers would stop him in the street. Yet something changed quite starkly last July, when his younger brother Llŷr took his own life.
He noticed it almost immediately after his bereavement, which came out of the blue.
The day after Llŷr’s death, a friend took him for a walk on the beach in his native Carmarthenshire.
“It was like everyone just turned around and walked away and didn’t know what to say”
Dr George, who was appointed UK Youth Mental Health Ambassador in February, understands this impulse: the squeamishness that means we send cards when someone dies.
But he is a firm believer that talking is vitally important, no matter how difficult the subject
