Adele appears to tease music fans with new material in TV ad

LONDON (AP) — Is the long wait almost over for Adele fans? Four years after her last album, the singer appears to have teased British television viewers with a snippet of new music, broadcast during an ad break on prime-time TV. The 30-second ad shown Sunday evening during TV talent show "The X Factor" featured Adele's distinctive tones over a black screen on which heartache-filled lyrics appeared. The ad ended with an ellipsis and contained neither Adele's name nor a release date for a new album. The London-born diva won six Grammy Awards for her 2011 album "21," and took home an Academy Award for the theme to the 2012 James Bond film "Skyfall."
