Adele has joked that she might "get in trouble" after she played a clip of her new song Easy on Me for her fans on Instagram from her home in Los Angeles.
She gave a taster of the new track in an Instagram Live video late last night, playing more of the song from her forthcoming new album than has already previously been revealed last week.
Adele, 33, confirmed in the post that the song would be released on October 15.
During the livestream, Adele seemed to struggle with the technology and said she would need to learn how to use Instagram Live before attempting it again.
She also answered questions from fans during the video and when asked if she misses the UK, she replied, "Of course I miss the UK. So much. I'm normally there way more than recently, but because of all the travelling restrictions I haven’t been able to go."
She added: "I’m not in London, no, I’m in LA. I can’t get there because of all the travel restrictions. It’s a nightmare."
She was also asked about her hosting gig on US comedy show Saturday Night Live last year.
"They want you to be all panicky and stuff like that about how live it is," she said. "The show changes up until about half an hour before the actual show goes out live. But I loved it and I would definitely host it again."
Adele's most recent album was 2015’s 25 and speculation has been mounting that her fourth album will be titled 30.
Earlier this week, she appeared on the cover of both the British and American editions of Vogue magazine, the first duplicate cover in the magazine’s 129-year history, with each edition of the magazine featuring a different fashion shoot and interview.
