Tenor adopted by corrupt society superstars (9)
I believe the answer is:
immortals
'superstars' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'tenor adopted by corrupt society' is the wordplay.
'tenor' becomes 't'.
'adopted by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'corrupt' becomes 'immoral' (similar in meaning).
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
't' going inside 'immoral' is 'immortal'.
'immortal'+'s'='IMMORTALS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for immortals that I've seen is " They live forever".)
