Adele's estranged father makes a heartfelt plea to meet his grandson
Adele's estranged father has begged for forgiveness after walking out on her as a child.
Mark Evans, 51, who is battling bowel cancer, said that he fears he may never see his 10-month-old grandson Angelo James.
The singer, who is worth an estimated £35 [$55] million, stopped talking to her dad two years ago after he gave an interview about their past, and allegedly said she would spit in his face if she saw him again.
'I still haven't met Angelo and I'm facing the fact I may never do,' Mark told The Sun.
'It could be over for me before I get to make my peace with Adele.'
Mark has had tumours removed from his colon and stomach after doctors found 11 potentially deadly growths and he is currently awaiting tests to see if the cancer has stopped spreading.
Mark walked out on the Adele's mum Penny Adkins in 1991 when the star was three-years-old, and the 44-year-old had to bring the star up alone in a London flat.
He was constantly drinking in Adele's younger years to numb the pain of his dad, John's death from bowel cancer aged 57-year-old in 1999.
He admitted he was a terrible father and not there when Adele needed him.
They did, however, remain close for Adele's younger years, often spending school holidays with him in Wales.
He said that she forgave him for his drinking and neglect, but the pair fell out at Christmas 2011 after he gave an interview about the family's past.
Adele didn't tell her dad she was pregnant with Angelo, whose father is Simon Konecki, the singer's partner and a charity worker.
Mark aledges he has never given up trying to make contact with Adele - writing letters to her every month and calling her managers once a fortnight but worries he has hit a brick wall and now feels ostracised.
He added:
'The years are going by and I'm worried I'm not going to see my grandson and do the things with him that I did when Adele was a child.'
Mark had his cancer operation in May last year after being diagnosed six weeks earlier, and hopes there are no more growths when he gets his new scans back.
He is now living healthily at his home in South Wales, but knows that the best remedy would be to see Adele and his grandson.
Despite everything Mark said he is proud of her success after winning a Golden Globe and Best Original Song Oscar for James Bong theme tune Skyfall.
He watched the night on the telly and said he got particularly excited when she high-fived Daniel Craig.
Mark is now in a new relationship and said he is not out to reconnect with Adele for money.
But he did claim credit for her love of music, because Mark himself had dreams of singing and acting which were passed on to Adele.

I hope she's handling this well.
