Aside from her recent performance outside L.A.’s Griffith Observatory for CBS (and a small crowd that included Seth Rogen, Gayle King and Melissa McCarthy) and the An Audience With Adele concert special she taped at the London Palladium Nov. 6 (with Paul in attendance, as were Beyoncé, Idris Elba, Emma Watson and many more celebrity fans), she has a few concert events planned for 2022 but doesn’t have a full-on tour in the works just yet.
“It’s too unpredictable, with all the rules and stuff,” she said. “I don’t want anyone coming to my show scared. And I don’t want to get COVID, either.”
In the meantime, she enjoys relaxing in her adopted home base of L.A., where Angelo now attends school and Konecki lives across the street.
“I mean, I have to sort of gear myself up to be famous again,” she told British Vogue, “which famously I don’t really like being.” But it’ll be worth it for 30, an album she has said “deserves” to be out there, better later than never.
“I feel like this album is self-destruction,” she described, “then self-reflection and then sort of self-redemption. But I feel ready.”
