Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Monday that Adele flew from Los Angeles to London and has been seen at Church Studios in Crouch End, where unnamed sources say she is writing and recording new material.
- The accounts come from tabloid reporting that cites unnamed insiders and have not been confirmed by Adele or her team.
- Sources quoted by the stories say she is keeping a low profile and spending at least a fortnight in and out of studio sessions rather than doing public promotion.
- Sightings of Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon outside the studio and Gracie Abrams filming nearby have prompted speculation about collaborations, but no evidence of joint work has been produced.
- The reports place this potential return in context: Adele last released the album 30 in 2021 and stepped back from the spotlight after her November 2024 Las Vegas residency, and Church Studios is owned by producer Paul Epworth and is known for its ties to major British acts.
