XL Records have announced that there will be no new Adele album until next year, despite months of rumour.
Adele, who on Wednesday attended the FKA Twigs gig at London's Hackney Empire, was widely rumoured to be releasing the follow-up to her second album 21 before the end of the year.
However, according to the New York Times, a statement was released recently announcing "There will not be a further new release by Adele during 2014 and consequently there will be a fall in XL's turnover and profits."
There has been a huge amount of speculation about a new Adele record, ever since the singer tweeted "Bye bye 25…See you again later in the year".
