Today marks Adele‘s 31st birthday, and to celebrate the occasion, the singer took to Instagram to reflect on the past year and tease new music.
She posted a series of black-and-white photos of herself celebrating, writing, “This is 31, thank f—–g god. 30 tried me so hard, but I’m owning it and trying my hardest to lean in to it all.”
Adele recently announced she and husband Simon Konecki have separated. The couple has a six-year-old son, Angelo. She alluded to the split in her Instagram post on Sunday, writing, “No matter how long we’re here for, life is constant and complicated at times. I’ve changed drastically in the last couple years and I’m still changing and that’s okay. 31 is going to be a big ol’ year and I’m going to spend it all on myself.”
“For the first time in a decade I’m ready to feel the world around me and look up for once,” she continued before hinting that a new album could be on the way soon: “30 will be a drum n bass record to spite you. Chin up, eh”
