Adele’s father Evans died May 5th at the age 57 following a lengthy battle with bowel cancer.

It was revealed in 2019 that Evans – who announced his bowel cancer diagnosis six years earlier – was earning just £50 a day as a Yodel delivery driver after giving up his career as a plumber.
Evans acknowledged that he was a “rotten father” to his daughter as a child. He blamed his alcoholism, which was caused by his breakup with Adele Adkins’ mother Penny Adkins.
His daughter, now three years old, was left to her mother.
He stated that he was drinking two liters of vodka daily and seven to eight pints Stella each day.
“I had a habit of drinking like this for the past three years. God alone knows how I managed to survive it.
He said he was deeply ashamed of his ‘becoming’ and added: “The most kind thing that I could do Adele was make sure that she doesn’t see me in such a state.”
Adele calls Penny Adkins her ‘best buddy’ because she helped her to become one of the most successful artists in music.
In 1989, Penny was introduced to Adele’s father Mark and fell in love with him shortly thereafter.
Adele once said that she fell pregnant while applying to uni. But, instead of choosing me, she chose to get me. It is something she never reminds me of. It is something I’ll try to recall.
When Adele was nine months old, the former couple split. However, they continued to co-parent Adele until 1999 when Mark became addicted.
Adele credits her mother to helping her get to where she is now and previously bought her a £600,000 house in Notting Hill as a thank you.
