Adele Gives Money To Charity and Loved Ones

Adele gives her money to charity and loved ones, reports Contact Music.

The jazz and blues singer claims she does so because she knows what it is like to struggle.

The 23-year-old singer claims she has had a tough upbringing, so after skyrocketing to fame, she wishes to help those in need.

“The cash has started trickling in, but I don’t come from any money so I help people. I give money to charity and to friends and family,” she says.

Adele hopes to take a break from making music soon, though, and insists she won’t hire help once she is on vacation.

“I have an assistant but I do my own washing. My auntie cleans for me, but I love a good clean as well,” she says to Britain’s Glamour magazine.

“And when all these squillion pounds come in, I’m having a f***ing break so I won’t need any help… I don’t need assistance getting myself to the pub.”

Just another reason to love her – very humble and hardworking. She definitely deserves a break too, and every penny she earns.

A British school that lost all of its musical instruments in a 2007 flood has received a big helping hand from Coldplay.

The super group have purchased a $6,000 Kemble piano for St David’s School, a primary school in Moreton-in-Marsh.

After a neighbour told bassist Guy Berryman about the school’s plight, the band sprung into action.

“It is fantastic,” head teacher Bob Forster told BBC News. “I was impressed they cared enough to want to help. Music is important to St David’s and gives huge pleasure to people inside and out of the school.”

The children of the school have sent a thank you letter to the band, and will send photos of themselves with the piano.
