Adele Shares an Emotional Speech to Commemorate Grenfell Victims

Adele has shared an emotional tribute to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire on the three-year anniversary of the tragedy.

 

The Hello singer went on Instagram to honor the 72 people who lost their lives after a fire broke out through the residential block in west London in 2017. She shared a link to YouTube Grenfell United memorial with a caption: “Today, Sunday, is 3 years since Grenfell. 72 lives will be forever in our hearts.”

 

 

Through her live YouTube appearance on the virtual commemorative service of the Grenfell tower victims, the English star shared a heartfelt speech and said: “I think that this year, more than ever, there has never been a more appropriate time for us to truly exercise camaraderie, compassion, open-mindedness and persistence. Persistence for answers. Persistence for action.” “It's a fact that human beings are not supposed to be left on our own, we need each other to survive. I truly see the action of the community,” she continued.

 

The Rolling in the Deep songstress looked so emotional in her live appearance and said:

“One of my proudest things is supporting your fight in true justice.”

Coronavirus lockdown has forced supporters to celebrate the anniversary online, thus, Adele expressed her disappointment and promised to meet up with them soon, she said: “I'm so sad that we're not all together… I hope we can all do that before the anniversary next year. I miss you all but I can't wait to see you all, thinking of you all more than ever. Stay safe, stay healthy.”
