I'm worried she's done permanent damage. I mean, she's already had surgery once. And since I've never felt relaxed when I've watched her perform.

I hope her vocals will be OK. I'm sad she never got to visit my country. Hopefully someday in the future she will.
She deserves this break. I feel like she won't come back until her child is a teen already. I hope we can still her from time to time like a soundtrack or charity song or two down the road.

hope she doesn't go the Shania Twain route and wait nearly 15 years between albums Shania's last album up was released November 18th 2002 and her next album Now is due September 29th

It's sad to think that if she does release another album in 15 years like Shania is doing, that the "kids" in 2032 or whatever will probably barely know who she is, the same way Shania isn't really appealing to the younger generation in 2017 because of her age and the time that has passed (though it's still a bit early to tell how her single(s) and album will do). Adele is a legend, but if she waits that long, I doubt we can expect to see her selling numbers close to what she has sold with these last two albums.

She might shock us all and release a pussy popping jam in the spring next year.

I'm not expecting music anytime soon, but I was hoping we would get some kind of update about the condition of her voice. Hope it's nothing too serious.

I don't expect a new album from her until 2019 in the best case. It won't surprise me if there is a soundtrack cut or a duet beforehand though.

All the Taylor record-breaking is fun to watch, but I can't imagine witnessing another album rollout like 25. It was so joyous. Everyone was talking about it, and everything was an event in a really positive, amazing way.

I wish she would just surprise release 23 (making her albums two years apart 19-21-23-25)
No way she doesn't have demos from that time period in her life. I bet she has a ton. She wouldn't even have to go for success, but just to release it as a treat for her fans.

She wouldn't even have to go for success, but just to release it as a treat for her fans. Pretty sure she openly spoke about how she long since scrapped those demos altogether (like, they could be undiscoverable) during the creative process of this record. She mentioned on several occasions about how she brought a proposed record to her producers and they flat-out told her "no," so she turned around, dumped them all, gave herself some time, and then created what is now 25. Also agreed w/ dbhmr. It really was a privilege to be able to watch this album rollout and unfold. With how the industry has changed (even since this album's release just a couple years ago), I don't think we'll ever see anything like it again. The next closest thing might genuinely be when she releases her next record. Combined with how she likely isn't touring, people may scramble to get as much of anything they can possibly get from her. When it's all said and done, she really unarguably is, along with Beyonce, the biggest musical star on this planet right now.

Right below her are the likes of Taylor, Beyonce, Rihanna and Drake.

No one has really pegged her for a powerhouse duet yet... or at least she hasn't agreed to do one this far. Depending on what Beyonce's timeline and album looks like, I wouldn't be surprised if we got a duet of the two of them before we got new Adele.

The only other artist that comes CLOSE is Taylor but everyone else is beneath them.

Adele and Beyoncé are absolutely the 2 most universally loved female pop stars out today and I need them to release an updated "When You Believe" to help heal the world today. Come on ladies, save us!

With all the vocal troubles she's had, she definitely needs to pre-record vocals for her next tour.

She seems so adamant about never lip-syncing though. She said she considered it for the last few dates to avoid cancelling so it wasn't a matter of not having some prerecorded vocals on hand; she just can't bring herself to mime.
A more likely compromise would be simply booking less dates and/or breaking up her touring into shorter segments with long breaks in between. Say, 10-20 dates at the beginning of the year, another 10-20 in the summer, then one more 10-20 stint in the fall/winter. Mariah had the same issue in the 90s - flawless, but fragile, voice. She didn't tour a lot and when she did they were very short stints. (Weirdly, it's when Mariah was in vocal decline that she started doing long tours.) Adele doesn't have nearly the problems Mariah did with critics or people doubting her voice was real, so there's no reason she (Adele) couldn't get away with being more selective about the number of performances she gives.

At this point we don't know the condition of her voice. There's been no update. Hope it's nothing serious.

Everyone was talking about it, and everything was an event in a really positive, amazing way. This could not be more accurate. 25 was a pop culture moment. If you seriously didn't know who Adele was and didn't know she was releasing new music, you had to be living under a literal rock. I seriously doubt I'll ever experience a pop culture moment like that in my lifetime. I still remember a few weeks past the album's release just putting the album on shuffle with the my roommates while we all sat around drinking alcohol and playing a card game. You can do that with a lot of albums, sure, but not like this. It wasn't interesting background noise. It was something we were all also paying attention to. Each track sparked discussion as it arrived. Legitimate discussion about music while getting drunk and playing a card game. What other modern album could do that? If I remember correctly, each one of us also had a different favorite track pick. I picked "I Miss You" while my other roommates picked "When We Were Young," "All I Ask," and "Water Under the Bridge." My mom's boss (an old family friend and also a former boss of mine), who doesn't follow music in the slightest, let alone purchases it, actually bought 25. To my knowledge, it's only the second album he's ever bought since I've known him. The other being Jamey Johnson's That Lonesome Song. It truly was a wonderful and magical moment in music history.

I will always love the fact she was able to pull that 1M+ digital sales in a week and break NSYNC's first week album sales record, both records which I never thought would ever be achieved And she did it when sales are already on the decline
Adele should take all the rest she needs and wants, even if it takes several years for her to come back. Her voice is one of a kind and I hope it wont be damaged permanently

She should do a London residency instead of Vegas or touring. That would help turn things around for the post-Brexit UK economy.

I predict ADELE's post-voice 'comeback' will be just as huge as 25. The beauty with an artist like Adele is that she is timeless and ageless - even though she is still young, her age won't impact her appeal. She's a modern-day Sade - quality music that stands the test of time.

She's a modern-day Sade - quality music that stands the test of time. While I think the next era will be successful and sell millions and millions of albums as well I don't see it Meeting how 25 performed. For instance by the time she has another album out digital sales will be even less relevant. Id say it'd be hard for the lead single to open with even half of hellos first week just because of trends out of her control, even though I'm sure compared to other songs it will still sell well. As for album sales I'd hope for maybe a 1.75 million opening? I'm thinking 3 (and 2) million was a once and a lifetimes kind of thing, but Taylor has shown she can consistently open above 1 million, so I don't doubt adeles ability to do a little more than that. I don't think a 9 million (US sales) finish is in the cards though, again just because of a dying industry. With a successful campaign launch and a couple hits though I think 5 million is a fair expectation of her. Basically short answer I think she ll still be on top of the game overall, but the stats won't be able to match 25, nor should they be expected to

^ I definitely agree, but I still wouldn't be surprised to see them come close. We were all saying the same things last time around ("it's 2015; sales are completely different"), and she ended up nearly tripling a pure album sales debut record that was originally made before digital sales even existed. I really don't put anything past her at this point.

I do wonder when we will hear from her again though. Part of me thinks as soon as next year, part of me thinks she may be done and retire completely.
