I am dead to Adele, says father

Singer Adele reportedly refuses to speak to her father and won't allow him to meet his new grandson.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Mark Evans said the Skyfall singer cut him out of her life in 2011 after he gave an interview about the Oscar nominee, reports showbizspy.com.

"I've left messages on her phone, I've written to her and I've sent her birthday and Christmas cards, but it's like I'm dead to her," he said.

"I'm 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. Not only did I hear I was going to be a granddad for the first time via the media, I found out the same way that she's calling the baby Angelo James."

"I'm not sure why she's chosen James, other than a reference to James Bond, and god alone knows where Angelo has come from," he added.
