Adele‘s fans believe the singer has pushed back the release of her new album due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 31-year-old singer was expected to release her fourth album towards the end of 2020, but those plans are now believed to be on hold.

Fans are now beginning to doubt the release after Adele commented on an Instagram Live battle between music producers Babyface and Teddy Riley.

The clash saw each artist perform three songs before technical issues forced them to postpone the clash.
