Adele puts Beyonce rejection rumors to rest, dishes on '25'

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Adele Adkins says she never received an invitation from Beyonce Knowles to collaborate, let alone rejected it.

The "Hello" singer explicitly shut down an Internet rumor during a conversation on-air with Zane Lowe, set to air Wednesday, saying "I would never be so disrespectful."

"I would never disrespect her like that," Adele said to the Beats 1 Radio host. "I'm such a fan, oh my God!" Later in the interview, she expressed her adoration for the "Runnin' (Lose It All)" singer. "Obviously, Queen Bey to the day I die," she said.

During the interview, the 27-year-old also revealed her upcoming album 25 will be the last named after her age. "I feel like the idea of naming albums after my age is always to show a photograph of what's going on in my life [at the time]," she said, according to Entertainment Weekly. "I feel like not that much is going to change profoundly in me from now on, in terms of how important years of my life are to myself."

Adele, who is mother to her three-year-old son Angelo, said in a recent interview with i-D that her latest album is her means of clearing "a lot of stuff the [expletive] out" of her head. "Becoming a parent and moving past my mid-twenties, I simply don't have the capacity to worry about as many things that I used to really enjoy worrying about," she said. "I used to [expletive] love the drama of all of it."
