Her Real Name

She is known for a singular name “Adele” but her real name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins.

The singer’s inspiration of her craft was the Spice Girls. She quipped, “Even though some people think they’re uncool, I’ll never be ashamed to say I love the Spice Girls because they made me who I am.”
