L'OFFICIEL celebrates the Brit's birthday with a look at 14 interesting facts you didn't know about the star.

Adele is a Taurus and she was born in England.

The British singer went to the same performance school the late singer Amy Winehouse once briefly attended, the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology.

Adele's album "21" is one of the best-selling albums of all time in both the UK and the U.S., ranking in terms of sale just below The Beatles' iconic "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Adele's music first began gaining traction on Myspace, when she posted original songs to the now-defunct social-media site in 2006.

In 2018 Adele tweeted that Drake's concert was one of her "favorite shows of all time" and the Canadian rapper shared how excited he was about her comment on his Instagram. The two became pals in February 2019 when they rented out an entire bowling alley just to hang out together with their friends.

Adele has oftentimes called the legendary singer Etta James one of her biggest inspirations.

Adele has a dachshund, Louie, that she has spoken about bringing on tour with her and a black cat that she adopted from a shelter.

For her 30th birthday in 2018, Adele threw herself a "Titanic"-themed birthday party, donning an impressive Rose costume.

Adele once dressed up as country superstar Dolly Parton for Halloween in 2017, calling her on Instagram "the hero of [her] life."

To lose her weight, Adele followed a strict Sirtfood Diet plan, which involves fasting and eating certain produce items including dark chocolate, wine, and green tea. 

Adele has a Beyoncé-inspired alter ego called Sasha Carter, which she invented to hype herself up after she met Beyoncé in 2011. 

The singer penned her debut single "Hometown Glory," which is on her album "19," in just 10 minutes when she was 18 years old.

Adele shares the title of female artist who has won the most Grammys in one night with Beyoncé. At the 2012 ceremony, she took home six, including Song of the Year and Album of the Year.

It turns out Adele is best friends with Nicole Richie, as she showed in a belated birthday wishes video the singer sent to the former reality star over Instagram in 2020.
