Adele has dropped the biggest hint yet that she could be finally releasing her third album this year. 

A day before she turned 26, the award winning singer tweeted a picture of herself with a caption saying "Bye bye 25...see you again later this year". 

She turned 26 on Sunday, May 4th.

She famously called her previous albums '19' and '21' because of the age she was when she wrote them. 

It’s been three years since Adele released her record-breaking, age-titled album 21. 

She took a break from music to spend time with her partner, Simon Konecki, and baby Angelo.
