Adele speaks on George Floyd’s death
Adele has reacted to the tragic passing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. A Minneapolis resident who a police officer kneed on his neck for more than eight minutes despite protests from Floyd that he couldn’t breathe. Police officer Chauvin was later charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd.
The singer wrote in an Instagram post today (June 1).
George Floyd’s murder has sent shockwaves around the world, there are countless others that haven’t. Protests and marches are happening all over the globe simultaneously and only gaining momentum. So be righteously angered but be focused! Keep listening, keep asking and keep learning! It’s important we don’t get disheartened, hijacked or manipulated right now. This is about systematic racism, this is about police violence and it’s about inequality. And this isn’t only about America! Racism is alive and well everywhere. I wholeheartedly stand in solidarity with the fight for freedom, liberation and justice ♥️ #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #saytheirnames
