Adele has offered a rare glimpse into her relationship with her teenage son, Angelo, disclosing that they share a passionate obsession with Formula 1. The 38-year-old singer made a surprise appearance at the McLaren Racing headquarters, where she spoke with CEO Zac Brown and drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
Adele and Angelo's Shared Passion for F1
Adele revealed that her 13-year-old son Angelo developed an interest in karting a couple of years ago, which she has actively encouraged. "I don't know many teenagers who have a passion so I'm really trying to encourage it. He's obsessed but I'm also obsessed," she said. She emphasized the importance of leaning into a child's interests, noting, "I don't think I ever expected to bond with my soon to be 14 year-old son about something so passionately where we like argue about drivers."
Struggles with Fame
The 'Rolling in the Deep' singer also opened up about her ongoing struggle with fame. "Oh my god. I think it is ridiculous that my job is being a singer," she confessed. She expressed disbelief that a girl from Tottenham could achieve such global success. "It is incredibly unlikely that a girl from Tottenham is going to go on to have any kind of career in England, let alone sort of universally and stuff like that." Adele added that she constantly reminds herself of the absurdity of her profession to cope with the spotlight.
Upcoming Comeback
Despite her reservations about fame, Adele is reportedly preparing for a musical comeback. According to a source quoted by The Sun, she has been recording new music in London, spending at least a fortnight writing and recording at Church Studios. The source noted, "She feels safe at Church Studios and it's where Paul is based, so it made sense to travel over for the sessions." This marks her return to music after a two-year break.
