Both Adele and Sam have been open about the fact that their Grammy Award-winning albums, 21 and In the Lonely Hour, respectively, were inspired by men who caused them heartbreak. "For ages I was like, 'As if he deserves any f*cking kudos for inspiring my record,'" Adele told Vogue in 2012. "But now, after some time, it only seems right that the person who so far has had the biggest impact on me — has now changed my life for f*cking ever with this album — deserves a little credit."
Sam expressed those same sentiments about his album at the 2015 Grammys, saying, "I wanna thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year. Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys." What are the odds that both of them were heartbroken by the same person and able to produce such great, emotionally charged content?
