Adele Returns To Instagram To ’Wholeheartedly Stand’ With George Floyd Protesters
“George Floyd’s murder has sent shockwaves around the world,” wrote Adele, 32, at the start of her June 1 Instagram post. The “Hello” singer shared a picture of the 46-year-old man who died of “asphyxiation from sustained pressure” after Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin pressed a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes. George’s death sparked demonstrations across the world, and Adele threw her support behind the Fed Up-rising. “Protests and marches are happening all over the globe simultaneously and only gaining momentum.”
