The 'Will We Talk?' hitmaker has been "hanging out" with the 74-year-old music legend and admitted they discussed the possibility of recording a duet for the 'Crocodile Rock' singer's latest LP, but Sam ultimately had to decline as he was working hard on his own record, 'Seventeen Going Under', and didn't want to "rush" anything.

However, Sam is hopeful he and Elton will still work together one day in the future.

He said: "Elton is now actually a friend, so I’ve been hanging out with him and learning some of his tricks.

  • Slide 4 of 11: During the writing and recording process of this new album, Adele separated from her husband, Simon Konecki. The charity entrepreneur and the music icon began their relationship in mid-2011 when Adele was at the height of her success with the '21' record. The pair welcomed a son, Angelo James, in October 2012 before she confirmed that the pair had tied the know at a show in Brisbane, Australia in March 2017. However the pair were not destined to be as it was confirmed in April 2019 that the pair had split before Adele later filed for divorce in September of that year.

It wasn’t very long... “So, when I was 30, my entire life fell apart and I had no warning of it.”
  • Slide 5 of 11: With her heartache behind her there is a chance we may get to see a new side to Adele if she sings about her dating life post-divorce.

    An ode to her dad?

    Could Adele sing about her relationship with her father on the LP? In an interview with Vogue, Adele revealed she had made "peace" with her father Mark Evans before he died from cancer. Adele, 33, said: "We actually got our peace, again contrary to reports. I played him my album just a week before he passed, over Zoom. "One thing that definitely happened in my divorce was that it humanised my parents for me. Big time. I went to hell and back! "And in that I found the peace to forgive him. He was ready to go and he lasted a long time with it."

    Easy On Me

    Whilst most of the record is still shrouded in some secrecy, one thing we know for sure is the lead single and when we can all get to hear it. Adele dropped a 20-second black and white teaser clip to confirm the release of ‘Easy On Me’. The video lit up social media and confirmed that it would be releasing on October 15. The teaser clip was very reminiscent of 2015’s 'Hello' video. The clip shows Adele playing the aforementioned song through her stereo whilst driving in a pick-up track down a quiet lane as her belongings begin to topple over losing some sheet music and papers along the way. What this means only time will tell but it’s sure to bring the world to a halt on October 15.

    Image overhaul

    It’s safe to say that this album campaign Adele will be looking rather different. After undergoing a lifestyle change, Adele has been displaying her new svelte figure. During her 2020 Saturday Night Live appearance Adele joked: “I know I look really, really different since you last saw me, but actually, because of all the Covid restrictions, I had to travel light and I could only bring half of me. And this is the half I chose.” With that being said, Adele may be keep to put her stamp on the fashion world this time around as well as the music.

    Light up Las Vegas

    Adele could further be taking a bold move when it comes to promoting her music. Reports indicate that she is considering a Vegas residency for 2022. She would be following in the footsteps of Celine Dion, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga if she were to take up this landmark career move. Sources have told Billboard she is considering either the Park Theatre at Park MGM Las Vegas or the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, both of which are owned and operated by Live Nation. This rumor would also align with the fact Adele’s team have not placed any holds on any major arenas or stadiums for a North American tour, something booking agents often do when carving out a tour calendar.

  • Slide 11 of 11: Now this is something we still don’t technically know but one pop star might hold the key to this information. Taylor Swift rescheduled the rerelease of her updated 'Red' album by bringing it forward a week to November 12. This has left a big gap for November 19 where no major albums are currently scheduled to drop. Is this coincidence or is Taylor making way for Adele to reclaim her crown and glory at the top spot? What we do know for sure is that new Adele is coming and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever.

Discussing who else he would like to duet with, Elton said: "I've collaborated with most people. Sam Fender. He's a British rock and roll artist who's the best rock and roll artist there is. He makes Oasis sound like a calm palm trio. He is brilliant."
