Adele has hinted at her return by updating her website and social media pages leading to speculation that new music is on the way from the singer.
Last week, billboards bearing the number 30 appeared in cities including London, New York, Dublin, Paris, and Rome, suggesting that her new album would follow in the tradition of her previous releases and be named after her age at time of recording.
Adele's last album, 25, was released in 2015 and on Monday her website and social channels were updated to feature the same font and colour scheme featured on the billboards.

However, no official confirmation of an album has yet been announced but fans are being invited to sign up to a newsletter via the website, which might eventually provide further details about a new album.
After guest-hosting Saturday Night Live back in October, Adele signalled that she could make her return to music this year.
"I'm going back to my cave now to be the (single) cat lady that I am!" she wrote on Instagram at the time. "Peace out ’til next year."
It was reported last year that Adele was working with Raphael Saadiq on her new album, with a source telling The Sun that Adele has "been a fan of Raphael since she was a teenager and loves his back -catalogue," and that "she wants her next album to be full of soul, with a more eclectic sound."
Saadiq, formerly of the group Tony! Toni! Toné! Has produced hits for Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, and Joss Stone. He also executive produced Solange's 2016 album A Seat At The Table.
