Adele confirms new album is called 25
- 9 years ago
Adele has confirmed her new album will be called 25, and says it will tackle her transition into adulthood.
"My last record was a break-up record," she wrote in a statement, "and if I had to label this one, I would call it a make-up record.
"Making up for lost time.
Making up for everything I ever did and never did."
The singer continued: "25 is about getting to know who I've become without realising.
And I'm sorry it took so long but, you know, life happened."
Fans have had to wait four years for a new record after the star gave birth to her first son, Angelo, in October 2012.
Adele's 21, which contained the mega-hit Someone Like You, is the biggest-selling album of the 21st Century, selling more than 30 million copies worldwide.
