Adele is playing down suggestions that she's considering taking five years off from the music business.

The rumours came from a magazine article in which the singer said she was thinking of having a break for "four or five years".

But she quickly denied the plan, writing on her blog, "Five years? More like five days!"

However, her manager has said that plans for a 2012 tour haven't been properly discussed yet.

"We have to ease her back," he said in another magazine interview, as she's recently had throat problems which stopped her from singing.

Adele will be performing at the Brits this month where she's nominated for three awards.
