Adele 'starts work on new music as she prepares to release fourth album at Christmas 2019'

She released her last chart-topping album, 25, in 2015.

And after three years out of the recording studio, insiders report Adele is prepping for a new record.

Sources have told The Sun that he Hello singer has been meeting with her record label in preparation to record her fourth album with a Christmas 2019 release date.

According to The Sun, Adele, 30, had a meeting about the project earlier this month at Sony's offices in London and will spend the summer writing for the record. 
 

Adele completed a world tour in 2016 and told fans to expect a long break before her return. She has previously released albums 19 in 2008, 21 in 2011 and 25 three years ago. 

The star, who is worth an estimated £102 million, was spotted back in her home city last week as she
ventured into a London branch of Marks and Spencer on Tuesday morning.

The singer, 30, called into the retail giant’s High Street Kensington store before making a hasty beeline for the upper floors, which are dominated by large children's-wear and shoe departments.

Adele, a parent to son Angelo with husband Simon Konecki, looked relaxed in a black top and floral skirt as she threaded her way past bold signs advertising affordable £22.50 shirts and made her way onto the escalator.
