Adele is believed to be finally ready to speak about her meteoric rise to fame, almost two decades after she released her first album, which saw her become a household name
Adele is said to be planning to reveal her truth in a huge new project. The proud Londoner became a household name in 2008 following the release of her second single, Chasing Pavements, and has since conquered the globe with her infectious personality and music.
But in the almost two decades she’s been in the music industry, Adele Adkins MBE has remained extremely private about her personal life. While her albums may be somewhat autobiographical about her failed relationships, the singer, 37, rarely gives fans a proper look into her life.
And although most celebrities use social media to connect directly with fans, this is something Adele doesn’t do. She previously said that her social media pages are managed by her team, and she is rarely given access.
But this could be all set to change, reports have claimed that she’s finally agreed to write an autobiography about her life and her astronomical success. It’s been claimed that Adele, who attended the BRITs School before signing with XL Records in 2006, had been at the top of publishers’ lists to try and get their story out.
“She’s always said no,” a source said. They went on to tell The Sun: “Finally she is ready and it will be Adele in her own words — beyond the headlines. As well as taking in her rise to fame in music, it will touch on her upbringing and her personal life.”
Fans should be bracing themselves, though, it’s not just an autobiography Adele is said to be working on. The publication claims that following her break after her Las Vegas and Munich residency, she’s apparently gearing up for new music, as well as a massive stadium tour.
The source told the outlet: “She loves her life out of the spotlight — but talks about another tour and even a new record have been happening. Fans should watch this space.” After wrapping up her highly-praised Las Vegas residency earlier this year, she pledged to step away from the spotlight and cautioned her audience: “I will not see you for an incredibly long time.”
Explaining her decision, she told the audience: “I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break, and I will fantasise about these shows and any shows that I’ve done over the last three years. It has been amazing, I just need a rest. I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now.”
It’s also claimed that Adele is considering performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2026. The Hello singer has been approached to perform at the pinnacle of the US NFL season, which is considered the most-watched television event globally and is set for next February.
According to stateside reports, Adele is contemplating breaking her self-imposed hiatus to say “yes.” She has a history of declining the Super Bowl, dating back to 2016 when she stated the “show is not about music” and added “I don’t dance”. However, she did hint at a possible future performance with a “maybe next time” and has been a regular attendee since, most recently watching Rihanna’s half-time show in 2023.
This year’s Super Bowl saw Kendrick Lamar take the stage, while an all-star hip hop set by Eminem and Dr Dre was featured in 2022, and The Weekend headlined in 2021. Other big names who have graced the stage include Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, and Shakira.
The only other British acts to have recently performed are Coldplay, The Who, and Sir Paul McCartney. Ed Sheeran, however, has ruled himself out of the gig.
The Mirror has approached Adele’s publicists for comment.
