10 Celebrity Pairs You Won't Believe Went To School Together
3. Adele & Leona Lewis The honorary Bond girl and X Factor record buster rubbed elbows at the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology, although Leona left at the age of 17. They can both claim Jessie J as a classmate as well. Besides passing "do you like me? yes/no" notes (we're guessing) they also share remarkable trajectories into the stratosphere of pop music. Adele's debut album, 19, was released in 2008, certified four times platinum in the UK and two times platinum in the US. Leona's debut album, Spirit, was released in 2007 and went ten times platinum in the UK. This made her the first British female to top the US Billboard 200 album chart in more than twenty years. Adele, meanwhile, was busy breaking records of her own: her six 2012 Grammys broke the record for most wins by a female artist in one night. They represent in the blockbuster world as well; Adele's Skyfall theme won her the Oscar, while Leona recorded the theme song for Avatar (a little art film nobody's heard of). In 2011, the ladies reunited in their support of the state funded BRIT school, mutually affirming it made their characters and careers.
