'Corona ain't over, I'm quarantining': Adele tells fan to be patient for new album

English singer-songwriter Adele may have something up her sleeve, but she doesn`t have a new album for her fans just yet.

According to a magazine, the 32-year-old singer sent some of her fans into a tizzy on Saturday after posting a photograph of herself singing into a microphone, which she simply captioned with a cryptic smiley face emoji.

''Teaser? Albums coming out today???!!!! Tell me now!!!!" wrote one excited fan, in an exchange highlighted by the Instagram account Comments by Celebs.

Unfortunately for fans, Adele was quick to shut down the speculation, telling the fan that they needed to "be patient. Of course, it`s not," she wrote.

"Corona ain't over. I'm quarantining. Wear a mask and be patient."Although Adele didn`t offer up a timetable for her fans, they may only have a couple more months left to wait.

In February, while performing at her best friend's wedding, the 'Someone Like You' songstress was heard telling the crowd to 'expect my album in September'. 

Last year, rapper Nicki Minaj also said the pair had recorded an 'epic' song together and shot a music video. Minaj said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "Adele made me swear to secrecy that I'm not allowed to tell anyone that I'm working with her."
