A place where professional singers would play or sing was letting a young Adele sing her songs. Her soulful voice echoed off the walls as if foretelling the phenomenal success that lay ahead. The pub-goers could see a star already. Rather than allowing bickering to detract from her musical achievements later on in life, Adele has used them as a reminder that fame comes with it’s own set of challenges.
