Adele's upcoming album, 30, will see the singer reflecting on her recent divorce from husband Simon Konecki, with whom she shares a 9-year-old son, Angelo

"My anxiety was so terrible, I'd forget what I had or hadn't said to Angelo about separating," Adele recently told British Vogue about the divorse.

"Angelo's just like, 'I don't get it.' I don't really get it either," the singer continued. "There are rules that are made up in society of what happens and doesn't happen in marriage and after marriage, but I'm a very complex person. I've always let him know how I'm feeling from a very young age because I felt quite frazzled as an adult."
