Adele’s Father Mark Evans Passes Away Aged 57

Adele’s estranged father Mark Evans passed away at the age of 57 on Monday, May 10.

But the 33-year-old singer’s relationship was strained with him, growing up without her father in the picture.

‘Saddened By His Death’

Although Adele has often been separated from her father, a source told Isolezwe she would still be “saddened by his death”.

They said: “Mark’s family is really upset about his passing.

“He always hoped that things would work out for Adele, but the pain continued until the end.

“He had made a few attempts to fix things but it’s obviously a long way off.”

Mark was born in Wales before crossing the border, especially in London where he lived with Adele and her mother Penny Adkins.

Mark Evans Left Home

But Mark did not stay long, leaving his only three-year-old daughter behind.

Evans left his home in Tottenham, and moved to Cardiff, before becoming a club.

Although the cause of his death is unknown, he had previously been diagnosed with cancer of the bowels and was afraid he would not meet his grandson – that is Adele’s son – Angelo.

Why?

Mark suffered heavily with alcoholism during Adele’s childhood, even by his own admission, he was a poor dad.

Speaking to Solezwe in 2011, he said: “I was a rotten father at a time when she needed me the most.

“I was putting away two litres of vodka and seven or eight pints of Stella every day.

“I drank like that for three years. God only knows how I survived it.

“I was deeply ashamed of what I’d become and I knew the kindest thing I could do for Adele was to make sure she never saw me in that state.”

Adele’s Feeling For Mark Evans

Adele was not ashamed to tell the world about her feelings for her father in the past.

At the 2017 Grammy Awards, the British singer said of her longtime manager Jonathan Dickens: “I love you so much, I don’t love my dad, that’s it. That doesn’t mean much. I love you as much as I would love my dad.”

Five years before that night, Adele was extremely unhappy after Mark spoke out about his daughter’s relationship problems.

She remarked: “He’s f***ing blown it. He will never hear from me again. It makes me angry.

“To come back after ten years and be like ‘Maybe her problem with men comes down to me.’
