Adele is in 'no hurry' to record her new album, according to her manager.
The singer's manager Jonathan Dickins said Adele will start work on the follow-up to '21' when 'the time is right'.
In an interview with Music Week, Dickins said: "I want to give her a little bit of time off and then hopefully we'll start looking at some stuff in November just to get into looking to make music again rather than any specific reason, dates or when it's coming or anything."
He added: "It will come when it's right and she's a great judge of that. I'm a good judge of that and ultimately the label is not a label where we are having to fight numbers and figures and quarterly results.
"We haven't even had a discussion about album three at this stage. And it will come when it's right. It's as simple as that."
Meanwhile, Adele, Jessie J and Arctic Monkeys are among the acts to receive multiple nominations for this year's Q Awards.
Adele and Jessie J are both shortlised for Best Female Act, while the former's single 'Rolling In The Deep' also has a nod for Best Single.
