When the ever illusive Adele was announced as the host for Saturday Night Live this weekend, the world went into a frenzy thinking we might finally – finally – get new music from the superstar.

But, in her opening monologue on the programme, Adele revealed that her new album still isn’t finished.

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1603668062’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1603668062’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1603668062’);

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie[‘val’] === ‘false’) {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1603668062’]]);
}

});

When she addressed questions as to why she wasn’t hosting and performing as the musical guest – the latter was handled by H.E.R. – Adele gave a few reasons.

“My album’s not finished,” she said, “and I’m also too scared to do both.”

“I’d rather put on some wigs…have a glass of wine or six and just see what happens!”

There’s been a few red herrings with Adele’s follow-up to 2015’s 25 in the years since its release. Most recently, she was filmed at a friend’s wedding saying that it was due out this September. However, in June, her manager had to confirm that this was not the case.

var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1603668062’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1603668062’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘C’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1603668062’);

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie[‘val’] === ‘false’) {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1603668062’]]);
}

});

But, it’s not all terrible news, as Adele did actually sing a few of her classic hits in various sketches throughout the night. Watch a clip of her singing ‘Hello’ in a sketch parodying The Bachelor.
