Adele Explains Why She Disappears After Each Album | The Graham Norton Show

Adele, you do do that thing, when you bring out an album, you bring it out and you do the promo and you normally do a tour, or in this case it was going to be the Vegas residency, and then... So, what are your plans for this vanishing, and do you know how long you're going to be vanished for? Well, I definitely will vanish again, but I'm trying to, like, make a really conscious effort to stop being so anal with my privacy. Saying that, I'm still fucking private, though, so I don't really... I'm trying to not always be two completely different versions of myself, because it's exhausting, like, you know, switching on and switching off and stuff like that, so that's sort of why I'm sort of like... I go out for dinner a bit more now, even, which I know sounds pathetic, but, like, what's the worst that could happen? Nothing. You know, so, yes, I will be disappearing in terms of my music, but you might see a glimpse of me every now and then. I won't be in complete hiding, you know, but... Do you disappear to, like, recharge? Yeah, and it takes me a while. Yeah. It really takes me a while, like, you know, it takes me about three years, yeah, and then I've got to, like, rev myself up to go into the studio, and then it takes me a good year and a bit to finish an album, but, yeah, but, you know, like I said, I would like to maybe have more children, so it'll be up to them, you know, because I only just now feel like I've caught up on my sleep from nine years ago, when I had my son, you know, so we'll see, yeah. Yeah.
