Adele Five-Year Break? Singer Plans to Focus on Relationship, Write 'Happy Record'

If fans found it hard to live without Adele for the last five months, as the singer suffered throat problems and recuperated from vocal-cord surgery, they could be in for an even more difficult five years. In an interview with Vogue, the Grammy winner has revealed plans to take a half-decade break and focus on her relationship with new boyfriend Simon Konecki.

"I am f---ing off for four or five years," Adele told the magazine. "If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy."

"And then I don't know what I'll do," she added. "Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch."

The "happy record" would certainly be a change of pace, as the singer's mega-selling '21' was inspired by a devastating breakup. Speaking with Vogue about what type of girlfriend she is, Adele said she's a good one, since she likes to laugh, cook and have sex -- though not at the same time, one presumes. She also admitted that she's prone to drama.

"I am not bipolar, but I go from, 'Oh, my God, I love you' to, 'Get the f--- out of my house!' really quickly," she said. "And I never sit there and talk about it. I give them the silent treatment."

Sadly, it seems that same treatment is going to extend to the rest of us.

UPDATE: Adele has since dismissed the quote as an offhand comment. "I've a few days off now, and then it's the Brit Awards here at home and then I'm straight into the studio. BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days," she wrote on her blog.

Adele, as long as you take care of that voice, you take as much time as you need. I love your music, and look forward to anything you produce in the next few years.

Adele needs to focus on her career more. There will be time for hubby and kids. People are going to forget about her and it will be harder for her to come back when she's older. Better to go part time then to give it up altogether.

She needs to focus on pushing away from the dinner table. I would definitely like her music more if she was not such a disgusting fat ass. sorry honey but you have zero sex appeal. Your as big as a house. Nice voice though, just dont try any dancing till you drop 50lbs or so.

Learn English buddy...your=you're as in "you're as big as a house"....and there are many men out there who like their women big..plus she makes money. AS I said before..what do you have? Unkind words on a message board written in poor English. Yea, sucks to be you right about now.

Hello. =3

Oh shut up, you douchebag. If you need to find someone sexy enough to want to F*** them to like their music, you don't really give a damn about their music, and therefore you have no damn business COMMENTING about them or their music! Go masturbate to Nicki Minaj's stupid fake ass, she's the kind of ho "men" like you want, with no respect for herself that'll suck on nothing but salads and cock all day and get ass injections just so shallow bitches like you will like her. Leave the people who actually have taste in music AND women alone!

That is quite a "narrow" outlook on her art. REAL songwriters/composers don't take their trade so PERSONAL and can even pen a tune on request... for example if asked to compose a movie sound track. I didn't realize Adele was so biopic and narrow-minded.

Correct, ask Lionel Ritchie or Sade.

Are you allowed to split up your fifteen minutes? Can we get a ruling on this?
