Adele Rekindles Friendship With Song-Inspiring Ex

Adele, who became one of the biggest successes in recent pop with
brokenhearted songs about a former boyfriend, has renewed her friendship
with her ex. "It's all right, I know what I'm doing," the British pop
star told the Independent. "Enough time has gone by."

She still hasn't identified her old boyfriend, whose departure
inspired "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You" and much of the rest
of Adele's breakout second album, 21.

"He changed my life, I can't deny that," the singer told the
newspaper. "The album helped me get over splitting up with my boyfriend.
It helped me forgive and I hope that he has forgiven himself."
