Musical Moments: Adele, Someone Like You

Delightful moment...

 

With the prince

 

   

Someone Like You was inspired by a failed relationship and how Adele dealt with it.

 

The song has broken records for popularity.  It's one of Adele's many hits that have helped make her a worldwide celebrity.

 

In January, she won her 10th Grammy with Skyfall, according to wikipedia.

 

Last year, she won the Oscar for best original song for Skyfall, the first Oscar for a Bond film in 47 years, according to bbc.com

 

In 2012, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

 

While in office, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown sent a thank-you letter to her, writing, "...with the troubles the country's in financially, you're a light at the end of the tunnel."

 

In June 2013, Adele was awarded a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours list for services to music.

 

She received the award from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace a year ago this week on December 19, 2013.
