<p>Adele is freaked out about hosting the next episode of Saturday Night Live but her fans think that she might also be releasing some new music on the talk show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Adele shared a tweet with the date of the Saturday Night Live show that she will be a part of next week -- October 24. She shared a picture of a colourful note showing H.E.R. will be the musical guest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She captioned it, 'Bloooooody hellllll I’m so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified! My first ever hosting gig and for SNL of all things!!!!&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’ve always wanted to do it as a stand alone moment, so that I could roll up my sleeves and fully throw myself into it, but the time has never been right. But if there was ever a time for any of us to jump head first into the deep end with our eyes closed and hope for the best it’s 2020 right?” she wrote.</p>

<p>Adele fans can get disappointed with this new development as she recently hinted that they will have to wait a bit longer to listen to her new music.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She hinted that is most likely to postpone her highly anticipated fourth studio album until 2021. She made the revelation during an online chat with fellow musicians.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Adele was speaking with producers Babyface and Teddy Riley via Instagram live when she made a comment that left her fans worried. She basically said, “Come on, it’s 2020 – we ain’t meant to get what we want!” .</p>

<p>Adele had been impending release of her album until this year but since coronavirus dangers have stopped almost every industry, it looks highly improbable for some new music to come out.</p>

<p>One fan wrote, “Adele has been on IG replying on Lives while were here waiting for five thousand years and she said "come on it's 2020 we ain't meant to get what we want" and decided to add not one but six laughing emojis like… srsly, is that freaking funny miss adkins?”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another fan tweeted: “Adele hinted we won’t get new music in 2020,” alongside a meme declaring: “Stop! It’s actually painful to watch!”</p>

<p>Another wrote: “It means A.D.E.L.E. by Adele will release on 2021,” alongside crying emojis.&nbsp;</p>

Adele's new album set to release in September 2020

<p>Ever since British singer Adele has shared her pictures of transformation owing to her drastic weight loss, there is much being spoken about what made her take these steps which are obviously for the better.</p>

<p>Adele revealed that she hasn't just done this to fit into a smaller dress size but as part of her overall growth. She<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/adele-looks-unrecognisable-after-losing-19-kg-for-christmas-see-photo-270037">&nbsp;lost 19kg and looks unrecognisable.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>According to a report published in People magazine, a source close to Adele said that she changed her diet and exercise routine to be a better mother to her 7-year-old son, Angelo whom she shares with her ex-partner, Simon Konecki. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/adele-and-harry-styles-vacation-in-the-caribbean-as-they-leave-a-massive-tip-of-2020-272453">Also read:&nbsp;Adele and Harry Styles vacation in the Caribbean as they leave a massive tip of $2,020</a></p>

<p>The source was quoted as saying, “It’s easy to just focus on her physical transformation, but this is really about something bigger. She got to the point where she didn’t feel great. She knew she had to change something because she wants to be the healthiest mom possible.”</p>

Ever since British singer Adele has shared her pictures of transformation owing to her drastic weight loss, there is much being spoken about what made her take these steps which are obviously for the better.

Ever since British singer Adele has shared her pictures of transformation owing to her drastic weight loss, there is much being spoken about what made her take these steps which are obviously for the better. Adele revealed that she hasn't just done this to fit into a smaller dress size but as part of her overall growth. She lost 19kg and looks unrecognisable. According to a report published in People magazine, a source close to Adele said that she changed her diet and exercise routine to be a better mother to her 7-year-old son, Angelo whom she shares with her ex-partner, Simon Konecki.

She got to the point where she didn’t feel great. She knew she had to change something because she wants to be the healthiest mom possible.” View this post on Instagram We both tried to ruin Christmas but then both our hearts grew!

Adele and Harry Styles brought the house down quite literally as they partied and spent their vacation together in the Caribbean islands. The singers were spotted hopping between Anguilla and the Virgin Islands as they were also joined by James Corden. While Adele’s pictures have been making the rounds as she looks skinny in a bikini and almost unrecognisable, we are yet to stumble on any photo of the duo or trio. Adele has undergone massive body transformation after she recently revealed that she lost 19 kg for Christmas and is serious about her health and eating healthy. See her transformation photos here. While Adele’s transformation photos are doing the rounds, what has also come to fore -- is the trio’s generosity while being on vacation as they tipped a waiter a massive $2,020 tip as a New Year’s gift. A bartender named Yahya from the Caribbean Fish Market on the island of St. Thomas, revealed that the trio had left a huge tip after dining there on January 5.

<p>In the photo, she can be seen with Santa and the Grinch. Media reports suggest that she has lost 19 kilos. What adds to the picture is her dress as the gown stands out with statement sleeves and a plunging neckline.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She captioned the photo, “'We both tried to ruin Christmas but then both our hearts grew! Thank you for coming to my party and making us feel like kids, Grinch.'</p>

The English singer has been in a long-term relationship with Simon Konecki

Adele, who has become a global pop sensation with her songs of heartbreak, has confirmed years of speculation that she is married. The English singer has been in a long-term relationship with Simon Konecki, a former financier who founded drop4drop, a charity that presses for global access to clean drinking water. The couple has a four-year-old son, Angelo, but Adele has been coy about whether they are married as she tries to maintain her privacy. But she confirmed their status at a concert in Brisbane, Australia on Sunday as she introduced "Someone Like You," her breakthrough 2011 hit written about the lingering pain of a breakup with a previous boyfriend. "That feeling when you first fall for someone is the best feeling on earth," she said, according to a fan's video posted online. "And I am addicted to that feeling. Obviously, I can't go through with those feelings because I'm married now," she added, to a smattering of cheers. Attentive fans at last month's Grammy Awards also heard Adele thanking "my husband and my son -- you're the only reason I do it". Her representative declined at the time to say whether she had been confirming her marriage to Konecki. Adele, 28, has been one of the most successful artists of the 21st century with her ballads of nostalgia and heartache. With the latest Grammys, she became the first artist to win all three most-coveted awards -- for album, record and song -- in two different years. (AFP)

Adele says she is married, puts years of rumours to rest

<p>Is Beyonce too edgy for the music industry? Or do the Grammy Awards suffer from an underlying racial bias? The superstar&#39;s failure to win top prizes is vexing her many admirers -- among them the night&#39;s big winner Adele.</p>

<p>Beyonce had led the Grammy nominations with nine for &quot;Lemonade&quot;, her most daring album to date, which she crafted as a celebration of the resilience of African American women.</p>

<p>But Beyonce, whose tour was one of the industry&#39;s most lucrative in 2016, took only two awards Sunday, again losing in the leading categories of Album and Record of the Year.</p>

<p>Adele, whose blockbuster album &quot;25&quot; stuck to her trusted style of wrenching ballads, for the second time swept three top Grammys -- and she earned praise from Beyonce&#39;s fans for saying that &quot;Lemonade&quot; deserved to win.</p>

<p>&quot;My view is, kind of, what the fuck does she have to do to win Album of the Year?&quot; Adele told reporters at the Los Angeles gala.</p>

<p>The English singer said that her black friends found &quot;Lemonade&quot; to be &quot;empowering&quot; and hailed Beyonce&#39;s creativity for intertwining the album with a film.</p>

<p>&quot;Obviously the visual is very new and the Grammys are very traditional, but I just thought that this year would be the year that they would kind of go with the tide,&quot; Adele said.</p>

<p>Adele&#39;s triumph comes a year after Kendrick Lamar&#39;s &quot;To Pimp A Butterfly,&quot; hailed as a hip-hop landmark and whose song &quot;Alright&quot; became an anthem of the Black Lives Matter movement, also lost to a best-seller, Taylor Swift&#39;s &quot;1989.&quot;</p>

<p>Frank Ocean, the introspective hip-hop trailblazer whose debut album was edged out by in 2013 by English folk revivalists Mumford &amp; Sons, chose not to even submit his follow-up, &quot;Blonde,&quot; for Grammy consideration.</p>

<p>After Sunday&#39;s awards, Ocean wrote an open letter asking the Grammy organisers to discuss the &quot;cultural bias and general nerve damage&quot; caused by the show.</p>

<p>Ocean, who defiantly released &quot;Blonde&quot; independently, said he initially wanted to take part in the Grammys for the tribute to late pop icon Prince.</p>

<p>&quot;But then I figured my best tribute to that man&#39;s legacy would be to continue to be myself out here and to be successful,&quot; he wrote.</p>

<p>&quot;Winning a TV award doesn&#39;t christen me successful. It took me some time to learn that.&quot;</p>

<p><strong>By and for black women</strong></p>

<p>The Grammys -- determined through voting by some 13,000 music professionals in the Recording Academy -- have hardly ignored Beyonce. With 22 career Grammys, she is among the most recognised artists in history.</p>

<p>Stevie Wonder is tied for the record of winning Album of the Year three times but the top prize has been especially elusive for black women. Only three -- Natalie Cole, Lauryn Hill and Whitney Houston -- have won it.</p>

<p>On &quot;Lemonade,&quot; the film blurs present and past with flashbacks to slavery in the Deep South, where African American women are shown as proudly self-sufficient.</p>

<p>&quot;Lemonade&quot; draws a link to 21st century America, taking on police brutality as well as marital infidelity as the music spans influences and culminates in hip-hop.</p>

<p>&quot;&#39;Lemonade&#39; is really about how black women are treated in society historically, and in the contemporary moment, and it&#39;s about loving ourselves through all of that,&quot; said LaKisha Simmons, an assistant professor of history and women&#39;s studies at the University of Michigan.</p>

<p>&quot;So in some ways, it&#39;s kind of fitting that she was left standing there.</p>

<p>&quot;Beyonce will be fine,&quot; she said. &quot;But I think for the rest of us, it stings because of that -- it&#39;s almost like, &#39;Get back in your place.&#39;&quot;</p>

<p><strong>Challenging industry</strong></p>

<p>In a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the Grammys, Beyonce emerged after the awards on a new song by rapper DJ Khaled. She speaks of being in music for 20 years and says: &quot;All of this winning / I&#39;ve been losing my mind.&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Grammys marked Beyonce&#39;s first public appearance since revealing she was pregnant with twins. Her performance returned to the theme of matriarchy as she donned a crown and her female troupe glided beneath her on a sea of flowers.</p>

<p>Yet Beyonce is hard to pigeon-hole as an experimental artist. When she last was passed over for Album of the Year, it went to alternative rock icon Beck, who is far less commercial.</p>

<p>But one constant is Beyonce&#39;s innovations on selling albums. Her self-titled 2013 album was also a surprise accompanied by videos.</p>

<p>&quot;She really challenges the people in the Recording Academy and the music industry,&quot; said Kevin Allred, who has lectured on Beyonce at Rutgers University.</p>

<p>Beyonce is &quot;breaking the rules and succeeding, and is also a very powerful black woman who has achieved a level of power that few do.&quot;</p>

Is the Grammys racist?

<p>Before Adele won the 2017 Grammy for Song of the Year for her&nbsp;hit&nbsp;&quot;Hello&quot;, the&nbsp;pop diva Adele&nbsp;startled the Grammy Awards by abruptly asking to start over during her tribute to the late George Michael -- the second straight year she has suffered an embarrassment due to technical issues. The chart-topping English balladeer was performing Michael&#39;s &quot;Fastlove&quot; when she used profanity -- bleeped out in the live telecast -- and asked to start again.</p>

<p>&quot;I know it&#39;s live TV, I&#39;m sorry. But I can&#39;t do it again like last year,&quot; she said. After a short hesitation, her back-up orchestra stopped and began the song again. The problem was not immediately clear.</p>

<p>Adele was tearful at the end of the performance but had the clear support from the audience of music A-listers, who gave her a standing ovation, and from supporters on social media.</p>

<p>Last year, Adele did not start over but her voice went painfully out of key. The Grammy organisers later revealed that the problem was caused when a microphone fell on the piano&#39;s strings.</p>

<p>It was the second performance Sunday night by Adele, who opened the telecast by singing her mega-hit &quot;Hello&quot; without incident.</p>

Some of the biggest stars in the world of music will descend on New York's Madison Square Garden for Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards. The singers who are expected to perform at the event include Rihanna, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj and Nick Jonas. Beyonce leads the nominations with a career-high 11 nods, Adele has notched seven and Rihanna has multiple nods for her collaborations with DJ Calvin Harris on "This is What You Came For," and with Drake on "Work." Rihanna receives the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award - the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. "I think everyone wants to tune in for Rihanna. What she's doing with the Video Vanguard moment is like no one has ever done," executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic said on Thursday. The always unpredictable rapper Kanye West will attend and be seated in the front row with his reality star wife, Kim Kardashian. Producers will not say whether he will perform. "We were happy to have him coming and I'm excited to hear what he's going to do," Ignjatovic said. Other celebrity presenters include US Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps and the Rio gold medal-winning women's gymnastics team. The show will air live on MTV on August 28.
