Your support makes all the difference.Adele appears to have released a 30-second teaser of new material from her upcoming third album in a TV advert.
The advert appeared during the X Factor on Sunday night, and consisted of a black screen with white lyrics accompanying Adele's voice.
The lyrics went: "Hello/It's me/I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet"
"To go over everything/they say that time's supposed to heal you/But I ain't done much healing."
Adele's last album, 21, was released in January 2011 and sold 5 million copies in the UK and 30 million worldwide.
Her next album, with the working title of 25, has been awaited ever since, and is set to be released in November.
The 30-second advert provoked a huge reaction online, with 'Adele' climbing to the top of the UK's trending topics on Twitter almost straight away.
