British singer Adele is planning a world tour now.

"Adele took time off to be a mum and she loves it - but now Angelo is a bit older, she's ready to get back out there. This will be a proper world tour, to all corners of the globe,` mirror.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

The 26-year-old singer took a sabbatical from tours after giving birth to her son Angelo in 2012, with husband Simon Konecki.

Now, the singer is so committed to touring that she's put childcare in place to have her son with her at all times.

"But it's important Angelo goes everywhere with her, so her priority was to have a nanny situation where he could do that. She is satisfied that is the case so is putting plans in place," the source added.

Adele is currently here recording her album. Industry sources expect it will be released at the beginning of 2016 and she'll sing the hits on tour.

The singer has played in US and Europe - but a full world tour will include Australia, Hong Kong and the US.
