Adele’s dad says in new interview: he’s ‘dead’ to his daughter

Eight-time Grammy winner Adele has a lot to celebrate in 2013: Her happy relationship with boyfriend Simon Konecki, their new baby boy, and the fact that shes up for yet another Grammy next month--as well as an Oscar! However, theres one family member who wont be sharing in the joy with her.Adele vowed last year that she wants nothing to do with her own father, and that promise is holding true--according to her dad himself. In a new interview, Adeles father, Mark Evans, confirms that the singer has completely cut him off and wont accept any attempts at reconciliation. In fact, its like he is dead to her.Im not interested in her celebrity status or her money, I just want my daughter back and I want to be a proper granddad to the little one, Evans, a part-time plumber in South Wales, told the Daily Mail on Sunday. The rift between Adele and her dad runs deep--Evans, 49, walked out on his daughter and her mother when Adele was only 3 years old. However, he did manage to be a presence in her life, as Adele would spend holidays with her paternal grandparents. By the time she was a teenager, their relationship appeared to have improved. Unfortunately, in 2011--at the peak of Adeles rise to fame--he spoke to the press about their difficulties. The superstar responded with fury to what she considered a major transgression by telling Evans claims to have gone to great lengths to reinstate himself in his daughters life--including embarrassing pleas to her management and label staff to intervene on his behalf--but Adele has been firm in not allowing him to approach her. Evans says he has never met Konecki and he longs to build a bond with his grandson. Im missing out on so many of the joys of being a grandfather. Simple pleasures like taking him out for a walk in his buggy, Evans lamented to the Daily Mail.
