Speculation has now reached fever pitch as it appears that the singer is set to release her long-awaited fourth album. Although Adele is now 33, it has been said that the significance of calling her album 30 could be due to her being 30, when her relationship ended with her now 8-year-old son’s father Simon Konecki. Thus providing the singer with her signature writing material for her new album.
Reports have also resurfaced that Adele is set to take up a Las Vegas residency and if it were to be true, the singer will be following in the footsteps of Sir Elton John, Britney Spears and Matt Goss who have all held long-term Las Vegas residencies.
The singer is set to release her new single “Easy On Me” on October 15th and there are reports of a TV special being announced for the release of her fourth album with further reports of a pre-recorded concert being aired in December.
