Adele finally confirms release date for new music

She’s back.

We’ve been wondering when Adele might finally release new music and now we have our answer.

Fans noticed that the singer had recently changed her Twitter and Instagram pages slightly, with a blue and turquoise pattern on her bio, and a link added to her website which asked fans to sign up for more information.

Once this was spotted, fans immediately began jumping to conclusions and it wasn’t long before #Adele30 began trending.

On Tuesday afternoon, Adele took to Twitter to officially confirm what fans had suspected, announcing that her new single ‘Easy On Me’ will be released on Friday, 15 October.

Fans were previously convinced new music was on the way when the number 30 started showing up on billboards across the world on different famous landmarks, with Dubai, Ireland, France, Italy and the US all included.

Rumours that her album is set to be released on November 19th also began circulating online when Taylor Swift moved up the release date for Red (Taylor’s Version), with fans assuming it had something to do with Adele.

Adele hasn’t released music since her 2015 album 25.

Known for naming her albums after big milestones in her life and the age she was when they happened, fans are assuming this one will be ’30’ as it was the age she divorced charity boss Simon Konecki.
