Adele LP this year?

RUMOUR HAS IT: Sunday night, on the eve of her 26th birthday, Adele tweeted “Bye bye 25…See you again later in the year.” An item on Time’s website suggested she might be hinting that her eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2011’s 21, apparently titled 25, will be coming out later this year. The project appears to be far along, if not completed. In March, Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote 21’s “Rumour Has It” and “Turning Tables,” confirmed he was working with her on the new project, while Wiz Khalifa described his collab with Adele on the upcoming album as “really hippie.” Phil Collins, of all people, revealed that he, too, was working with her on new music, which may or may not be part of 25. But according to Adele insiders, although the album may be released during this calendar year, but it's more likely to arrive next February, timed with the Grammys. (5/7a)
