The album, a follow-up to 2015’s 25, is expected to explore Adele’s relationship with son Angelo and her divorce from charity boss Simon Konecki.

She told US music magazine Rolling Stone she felt “devastated and embarrassed” when news about the breakdown of her marriage emerged in 2019.

A primetime special concert filmed at the London Palladium, An Audience With Adele, will be broadcast on ITV a week later on November 21.
