Adele appeared in a YouTube video to show support for the victims of the 2017 Grenfell Tower disaster in London, which killed 72 people.

In a video shared on Monday (June 14th), the singer called for justice, saying, “Still the trial [inquiry] is taking way too long, and still no one has been held accountable for that night’s events. And yet, Grenfell United is still out here, fighting tirelessly for the justice and for the change that not only they deserve, that their community deserve, but that the whole country deserves.”

The British government opened an investigation in September 2017, but still has not come to any conclusions.  The disaster began as a small kitchen fire in the early hours of June 14, 2017, and went on to engulf the entire 24-story building.
