Bad news for Adele fans: she has 'no idea' when her new album will be released

Adele has "no idea" when her new album is going to be released.

The 32-year-old singer is working on a follow-up to 2015's '25' but confesses to fan that she is none the wiser as to when the new record will be released.

Adele took to Instagram to share a photo of a book she has been reading, which was captioned: "If you're ready - this book will shake your brain and make your soul scream.

"I am so ready for myself after reading this book! It's as if I just flew into my body for the very first time. Whew!"

A fan commented on the snap: "Adele where's the album?"

The 'Hello' hitmaker then replied: "I honestly have no idea."

It was previously reported that the award-winning singer had "been pouring her heart and soul" into the new record and has been working Raphael Saadiq and John Legend.

A source said: "Adele is ­pouring her heart and soul into this record, ­including how she feels post-divorce.

"She's been a fan of Raphael since she was a teenager and loves his back ­catalogue. She wants her next album to be full of soul, with a more eclectic sound."

It was also claimed that Adele had found making new music "like therapy" after the end of marriage to Simon Konecki last year.
