Part of Adele’s endearing appeal is that she is so damn relatable. And for one of the richest and most famous women in music, that's quite a feat.
But it’s her knack for writing about relationships and douchebag men that so many people can relate to – and one woman expertly summed up the universal need for Adele’s break-up anthems in a letter to the singer that’s going viral on Facebook.
Sharing the letter via Adele’s Facebook tour page, Derry woman Stephanie Pope tells the tale of her own emotional break-up, a messy night out, and how Adele helped her through it.
‘Dear Adele. I had just split up with my 2 timing, lying, cheating dirt bag of a fiancée 2 weeks previous when you sang at the Brit Awards,’ she began.
‘I still lived with the prick and went on a “fuck you and your secret love child” night out with my mates. I had got pissed as a newt in an hour! Ya know when they say you get pissed quicker when your an emotional wreck?!.. Yeah it was one of those nights.
‘Anyway, in my black dress, black tights, black heels, I came home crashing through the front door absolutely wasted, obliviously trailing dog shit on my shoes, right through my lovely hallway. I made my way to the kitchen bin where I puked my guts up and pissed my pants whilst doing so, I stumbled into the living room and pressed play on your recorded performance of “Someone like you” on the TV.
‘I sang and cried at the top of my lungs, believing I was you as I belted out every word to the bastard. In the doorway looking at me with disgust! He closed the door on me and went to bed! I didn’t give a shit, I was pissed and I was a woman, with feelings, and a heart, and I deserved better. All I needed was me and you, because you understood! Lol!! We connected that night!’
She ended with:
‘There I was with dog shit on my shoes, sick on my dress, standing in pissy tights and pants, with zero dignity and not knowing a fuck what I was gonna do now. But in that instant you became me and I became you!! Feels like a million years ago now but I just wanted you to know about it!
‘I’m Now free of the ratbag ex fiancée and his (still secret) love child, totally cured and healed by the man of my dreams, my best buddy (and now husband). Thanks for helping me through it all. All my love, respect and deepest thanks. Stephanie.’
The post has had over 30,000 likes, and writing on her own page, Stephanie said: ‘I am sure we all have stories like this, and dog shit piss stained times in our lives that we look back at now and laugh…’
Now we just need Adele to respond.
