Adele plays down five-year hiatus remark

(CBS) Adele is playing down a remark she made in the March issue of Vogue magazine, where she said she plans to take a hiatus from music for "four or five years."

The singer, who swept Sunday's Grammy Awards with six wins, wrote on her official website Tuesday: "I've a few days off now, and then it's the Brit Awards here at home and then I'm straight into the studio. BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days!"

The singer's British spokesman told the BBC that it was "just an offhand comment."

In the Vogue interview (she's also on the magazine's March cover), Adele said: "I'm f---ing off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch."

"I won't come out with new music until it's better than '21,'" she added.

The singer also told the magazine that her next album won't be another collection of tracks about love gone wrong, like her bestselling record "21."

"I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way," she said in the interview. "I'm done with being a bitter witch."
