She has risen from modest beginnings in a cramped South London flat to become one of the biggest stars in the world. Last Sunday 12th Adele was celebrating after she took home six Grammy awards – stopping to thank the mother who brought her up single-handedly.

 

 

The 23-year-old with the big voice was honoured at one of the biggest nights in music for the emotional songs that have taken her to number one in both the American and British album charts.

 

 

Adele won all six categories she was nominated in, scooping song of the year for Rolling In the Deep, which she performed to a standing ovation. She already has two Grammys from the 2009 awards and is now matched only by global superstar Beyonce for the most Grammy wins in a night by a female act.Her album 21, which topped the charts in ten countries, overtook Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black after selling 3.7million copies in the UK last year.

 

Watch her amazing performance below.
