Adele was born on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham, London. This countdown runs to her next birthday.
A BRIT School graduate with a once-in-a-generation voice, Adele's albums 19, 21, 25 and 30 chronicle her life in real time — 21 became the best-selling album of the 21st century, and 'Skyfall' won her an Oscar.
