Adele 'worried new album will flop'

Adele has admitted that she is worried that her new album will prove to be a flop.

The 'Chasing Pavements' singer, who is currently working on her second record, said that she is torn between a desire for musical progression and pleasing her established fanbase.

Speaking to Bang Showbiz, she confessed: "I'm a bit scared. Obviously there are new avenues that I want to go down with the sound and I don't want to leave behind the fans who might not like the new sound I am going for, so I'm a bit wary of that.

"I'm writing it slowly but surely. I have a producer but I don't want anyone to know who it is until the record is done, in case it flops."
