AceShowbiz - Adele is sure taking very long time working on her new album. Sources "close to Team Adele" recently revealed that the highly-anticipated follow-up to the massively successful "21" that was expected to arrive early this year wouldn't be out until late 2015.
"The album will be released when it's ready - [we] hope that will be at some stage in 2015," one source said. Another source added that "logically, there is now almost no chance" of the LP being ready for release before the second half of 2015.
The blockbuster "21" has sold more than 30 million copies in the U.S. since being released in 2011. It spawned mega hits like "Rolling in the Deep", "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Someone Like You".
Fans first hoped that a follow-up record would come in late 2014 after Adele tweeted a cryptic message on her 26th birthday last May. At that time, she wrote, "Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x." However, last year's financial reports by her label XL Records suggested that no Adele album was planned for 2014.
