So close to being obscure. Alas, she pooped out a 14th (!) child, Celine.

She had her own tv show, although having Celine as a child helped somewhat

Not yet confirmed or widely reported but according to this tweet one of Adeles  main backing singers and friends Martine Celisca has sadly died.

Some more biographical information on her in the link. A big part of her 2016 tour.

^^^ She may not be ‘household name famous’ for her singing but seems wrong-un to disrespect her to this thread.  Still should be pop music thread.

 

**descends soap box

Oh you certainly make a good point, although no disrespect was intended but I had a dilemma as I can also envisage some people possibly nitpicking if I had off put her in the pop music thread arguing that backing singers do not belong here. I am afraid It is an ironic  unintended side effect of people being so  over the top, anal, hectoring and nitpicking over what goes in what thread that actually MORE 'mistakes' or misjudgment in some eyes will happen. Counterproductive is the word I believe.

Anyway very sad news and so young.Im sure Adele would have wanted to include her in future tours especially as a new album is imminent.
