The Rolling In The Deep star made a return to music last week (ends25Oct15) after a long hiatus and is set to score a huge hit with her comeback single Hello ahead of the release of her new album 25.

Adele has refused to confirm whether she plans to launch a tour to support the album as she has previously resisted going out on the road, but a new report suggests her team is in negotiations with bosses at Apple to sponsor the dates and support her new record.

Editors at the New York Post report talks are taking place with promoters Live Nation and AEG for the proposed tour, as well as Apple bosses, who are also said to be negotiating a deal to stock 25 in their stores.

"I'm definitely going to do as many shows as I've done before, it's not that many..." Adele recently explained about her tour plans. "I would love to go on tour and I would love to think I have it in me to do one of those global tours. Whether I do or not I don't know. We haven't made any firm plans."

Adele's new song Hello looks on course to become one of the biggest singles of the year (15) after it notched up 156,000 sales and 10,000 streams in just three days on release in her native Britain, and she is also on course for a U.S. number one after garnering 450,000 downloads in just 48 hours.

The accompanying video has also been breaking records online, racking up more than 27 million views on entertainment platform Vevo.com in the first 24 hours after its release.

Her album 25 is set for release next month (Nov15).
