"Is Adele sure about this?\r\nThe Grammy-winning, multi-platinum selling British singer, 23, is rekindling an old, baggage-heavy friendship -- with the ex-boyfriend who inspired the gut-wrenching breakup songs on 21, her worldwide smash album.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re becoming friends again. It&amp;apos;s alright, I know what I&amp;apos;m doing. Enough time has gone by,&amp;quot; the star (last name: Adkins) said in a recent interview with the UK&amp;apos;s The Independent.\r\nAdele has never identified the man who broke her heart so badly that she penned such devastating songs as &amp;quot;Someone Like You,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Set Fire to the Rain&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Rolling in the Deep.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Now with what&amp;apos;s going on with the album around the world, it&amp;apos;s important to be able to share it with him because it&amp;apos;s marvelous what has happened,&amp;quot; she explained of her record-breaking album and singles sales.\r\n&amp;quot;He changed my life, I can&amp;apos;t deny that. The album helped me get over splitting up with my boyfriend. It helped me forgive and I hope that he has forgiven himself,&amp;quot; she added.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not boastful, but selling 10 million albums for a little girl from Tottenham, I&amp;apos;m very proud of that.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
