The 31-year-old British singer teased her new music during her best friend's wedding over the weekend.

Adele attended and performed at the wedding of her best friend, Laura Dockrill, to The Mackabees musician Hugo White. She performed some of her greatest hits including Rolling in the Deep. 

She also served as the officiant at her friend's wedding which took place at the Mason Arms pub in London. 

Videos from the event showed Adele in a cream short-sleeved turtleneck paired with a floral maxi shirt and gold hoop earrings. 

Adele dropped the news while performing for the crowd, saying new music should be expected in September of this year. 

Dockrill and Adele have been friends since they were kids. Adele wrote the song "My Same" for her album 19 in honor of their friendship. 

"We have been friends for more of our lives than we haven't," Adele wrote on her Instagram. 

Adele has also shared her friend's story of postpartum depression, calling it a "most intimate, witty, heartbreaking and articulate piece."

In the Life of Adele

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born in North London, England on May 5, 1988. Her mother, Penny Adkins, was just 18 at the time of her birth. Mark Evans, her Welsh father, left the family when Adele was just four years old. 

Adele's relationship with her father is estranged due to his problems with alcohol. 

Developing Her Love for Music

Adele developed a passion for music at an early age. She loved songs sung by Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, and Destiny's Child. 

Adele said a collection of Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald she found in the records shop was her "awakening". She said it served as an inspiration for her. 

Her mother enrolled her in the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology where she made a three-track demo for a class project. She posted her record on her MySpace page. Executives at XL recordings contacted the singer after they heard the tracks.

Adele signed a record deal in November 2006, four months after she had graduated school.

She was classmates with Leona Lewis and Jessie J when she graduated from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in May 2006. Adele credits the school with nurturing her talent.

Albums and Legacy

Adele's debut album was named after her age when she began recording the project. 19, which went on sale in early 2008, Adele's singles "Hometown Glory" and "Chasing Pavements"  swept through the charts and rocketed Adele to fame.

Chasing Pavements was a song she wrote after an argument with her then-boyfriend. "What you're chasing is you're chasing an empty pavement," she said. 

Her album sat on the 40th spot in iTunes before her appearance on Saturday Night Live in October 2008. Less than 24 hours later, it took the top spot.

Adele's second album, 21, was a much-anticipated record. It sold 352,000 copies within the week of its release. The album served monster hits like "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You". 

She reached a new milestone when she became the only artist besides the Beatles and 50 Cent to have two Top 5 singles and Top 5 albums in the same week. She also broke Madonna's record for the solo female artist when 21 stayed at the top spot on the charts for 11 weeks. 

Her "make-up record" 25 was released on October 22, 2015. It was a collection of emotional songs about the ins and outs of relationships. The album reached No. 1 in iTunes in 110 countries. It beat 'NSync's record when it sold 3.38 million copies in a week. It was the only album to sell a million copies in the US in 10 days.

Adele announced her hiatus at the end of her world tour in 2016.
