Adele 'quietly cancels secret concert' as she prepares to release fifth album

It's claimed that, although her last record was five years ago, the singer, who lives in Los Angeles, California, had secretly jetted back to Britain to record new material at Church Studios in Crouch End, north London. And Adele , who has maintained her British roots since moving Stateside, had even lined up a top secret gig. It was revealed in June that, despite Adele promising to take a "big break" following her Las Vegas residency ending, she was actually working on new music.
