O’Sullivan also keeps a very low profile as compared to his older sister who has been in the public space since 2006 as a musician. She is currently one of the most celebrated female singers in the world with no fewer than 120 million of her records sold worldwide.
Adele is also the first solo female artist to have 3 singles in the top 10 of Billboard Hot 100 concurrently with Rolling in the Deep, Set Fire to the Rain, and Someone like You. Other women to claim this feat are Ariana Grande, Cardi B, Azalea, and Ashanti.
Award-winning singer Adele and her brother, Cameron O’Sullivan, may not bring the entirety of their relationship to the world’s attention. Yet, from the snippet they’ve given, their relationship may not be so close and also not toxic. As regards why their connection may be unconventional, they were raised by different mothers in different towns. Their father on the other hand deserted them at a point as in the case of LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
While there may be the thought of whether they may develop a closer bond in later years, research has shown that many siblings’ bonds reduce as they grow older. The statistics are even higher with siblings who were not close as children and those whose age gap may be wide.
