What Adele has done since ‘disappearing from spotlight’ as she makes rare appearance at F1
Adele has resurfaced in public after being spotted attending the UK Grand Prix.
The star left the spotlight back in 2024, when she informed fans that she would be stepping back for a while as she needed 'a rest'.
"I will not see you for an incredibly long time," she said. "I just need a rest, I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now."
Since then, Adele has largely kept a low profile, but appeared again at the Grand Prix in the UK alongside a host of other celebrities,

The star, 38, is known to love F1 racing, and sported a t-shirt for Lando Norris, the 2025 world champion for the McLaren team.
Now, in a rare interview Adele has opened up about some of the things that she's been doing since stepping back.
This has included spending time bonding with her 13-year-old son Angelo, who she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki.
In the interview, the Skyfall singer revealed that she and her son had bonded over their love of Formula 1.
She told spoke to the chief executive of McLaren Zak Brown, as well as drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
"So my son is really into karting and things like that," she said. "I don't know. He just sort of asked about it a couple of years ago and I was like, 'All right'.
"I don't know many teenagers who have a passion so I'm really trying to encourage it. He's obsessed but I'm also obsessed."
She added: "But just like when your kid has an interest, you have to lean into it. More importantly, I think you have to be interested in it."
And Adele seems to have been busy as well, with the Daily Mail reporting that she had been spending her time studying for a degree in English Literature.
Adele had even previously spoken to her fans, reflecting that if she hadn't found fame she had wanted to be an English teacher.
Speaking to a Q and A with fans in Los Angeles in 2022, she said: "If I hadn't made it singing, I think I would be an English Lit teacher.
"I definitely think I use my passion for English lit in what I do. I wish I'd gone to university and had that experience, but I will do it online with a tutor. That's my plan for 2025, just to get the qualification."
