Adele has reportedly signed a multi-million-pound deal to write an autobiography and is in talks about resuming live touring, several British tabloids reported Wednesday.
The Daily Mail, citing a source who spoke to The Sun, said the 37-year-old singer agreed to a book deal after years of turning down publishers. The reports said the proposed memoir would cover her rise to fame, her upbringing and personal life, including relationships and motherhood.
Those stories also said Adele is in discussions about a world tour and the possible release of new music. The Mail reported that publishers had long sought to secure her memoir but that she had previously declined. None of the outlets named a publisher, and all described the information as coming from industry sources.
Representatives for Adele did not immediately confirm the reports. The Daily Mail said it had contacted her representatives for comment. The singer has in the past been selective about interviews and public disclosures, and the outlets noted that the timing and terms of any deal were not public.
Adele has been one of the most commercially successful and decorated artists of her generation. Over a near-20-year career she has won multiple major awards, including Grammys, BRIT Awards and a number of film and television honours. Her recent live activity included a Las Vegas residency that concluded in 2024 and a series of open-air concerts in Munich that organisers said drew more than 730,000 fans.
Those Munich performances were reported to have achieved two world records, one verified by Guinness World Records for what organisers described as the largest continuous outdoor LED screen used in a concert residency. A Guinness official was quoted in coverage praising the staging and the production's visual effects.
Financial details published by UK outlets were cited in the recent coverage. The Mirror reported Companies House filings for several of the singer's companies showing substantial cash deposits and fees recorded in 2024, and it published figures that it said contributed to an updated estimate of her fortune. The reports said one of her publishing companies had deposited millions of pounds and that corporation tax payments were recorded in filings. The Mail and other outlets reported that earnings from residencies and concerts contributed to those figures.
Adele has previously resisted long-form projects about her life. Interviews and past statements from the singer have suggested caution about exposing private matters publicly; the tabloid reports quoted sources saying she was now prepared to tell her story "in her own words." The identities of any literary agents, publishers or tour partners have not been disclosed in the reports.
For now, the accounts of a book deal and tour discussions remain unconfirmed by the singer's camp or by any publishing house. Media organisations that covered the story said they would update readers if formal announcements are made.
