Adele apparently told some friends that she'll release a new album this year

We haven’t heard much from Adele in the last few years. Her last album, 25, came out all the way back in 2015, and after that she pulled off a shocking Grammys upset, suggested that she might never want to tour again, had to get emergency surgery after damaging her vocal cords, and then… probably continued to do something, but we’re not sure what. Apparently, though, the reason we’re not regularly briefed on Adele’s comings and goings is that we don’t get invited to the same weddings she does. According to Stereogum, Adele was the officiant at a friend’s wedding recently—specifically writer Laura Dockrill—and she revealed to the other guests in attendance that she’ll have a new album ready in September. She also sang “Rolling In The Deep” because, well, she’s Adele and somebody gave her a microphone. What, you think her friends asked her to come to their wedding, gave her an important job, and didn’t want her to briefly take over the spotlight to perform one of her big hit songs?
