Heartbroken Adele will channel her break-up sorrow into her new album

The singer, 30, is expected to release the record likely to feature her signature tear-jerkers – by the end of the year.

Adele confirmed her split from husband Simon Konecki, 45, over the weekend, and music industry insiders say she is throwing herself back into work to get over the break-up.

A source said: “Adele has been writing and working on new material for a while.

“She has already had meetings with her record label, Sony, in London about her progress.

“Producers have been app­­roached about working with her. They are hoping the album will be released by this Christmas.”

Back in 2011, the superstar said of her creative process: “When I’m happy, I ain’t writing songs – I’m out having a laugh.

“If I ever get married, it’ll be, ‘Darling, I need a divorce. It’s been three years – I’ve got a record to write’.”

Adele was seen heading into a studio in New York last month to work on the album.

Unlike her previous records – 19, 21 and 25 – this one will likely not be titled after her age at the time she wrote them.

In 2016, the singer said of her record 25: “This is the last album after my age. I believe in trilogies, yeah. The next one is just gonna be ‘Adele’.”

The London-born star married charity boss Simon three years ago, after five years together.

They have a son, Angelo, seven.

Their split is said to be due to them moving in “different directions and to different continents”, with Adele preferring the US, while Simon likes living in the UK.

In January, she transferred the deeds of Sh64 million property in LA solely into Simon’s name.

The couple announced: “Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly.”
