Adele to embark on world tour - report

British singer Adele will reportedly set off on her first world tour next year (16).

The Rolling In The Deep singer will kick off the shows after the release her long-awaited third album, which has been pushed back several times.

It has been four years since the release of her last record, 21, as she took a break from music to raise her son, Angelo.

A source tells Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper, "Adele took time off to be a mom and she loves it but now Angelo is a bit older, she's ready to get back out there. This would be a proper world tour to all corners of the globe. But it's important Angelo goes with her."

Adele has recently been living in Los Angeles while she finishes work on her record.
