The "Rolling in the Deep" singer is said to be suffering from stage fright. In addition, the award-winning singer is allegedly hiding out in her home because of the stress linked to her third album.

OK magazine reports that Adele may have belted some powerful songs and captured the hearts of many with her Grammy-winning sophomore album, 21, but this does not mean she's immune to being stressed and afraid. The magazine reports that after her 2011's work achieved enormous success and after giving birth to her son in 2012, Adele intentionally avoided being seen, or heard in the public.

One rare instance when she was seen was when she and her husband Simon Konecki dined out with Beyonce and Jay-Z back in October London. She was also seen once en route to the gym. For the past two years however, the British singer was noticeably out of the spotlight. Even though many assume she's preparing for her next big album on 2015, a source shared that the stress linked to this third album is to blame from Adele's withdrawal from the public. "She stays in with her son and ignores calls from her team," the insider explained.

Unknown to many, and not obvious to the public, the source also added that the singer was suffering from stage fright in 2011 when her career was taking off. taking a break after her success made all these frights and confidence issues come back, enough to affect her return to the stage. She also had to deal with divorce rumours this year, which she bravely confronted through her Twitter account. "Just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays & all the best for 2015! PS Simon & I are still very much together, don't believe what you read x," she tweeted.

For her third album, it has already been reported by The Sun that fans could expect it to have more of pop sound. Adele is also reportedly working with American producer Greg Kurtsin on this upcoming album, who is the man behind hits like Burn by Ellie Goulding and Lily Allen's first two successful albums.
