AFTER her Grammy triumph, Adele has revealed plans to take a five-year break from music to focus on her relationship.

The Rolling in the Deep singer wants to focus on spending time with new beau Simon Konecki because when she has prioritised her career in the past it has led to heartbreak.

Asked about her future plans, she told US Vogue magazine: "I am 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."

The 23-year-old singer said she is a good girlfriend because she likes to cook, laugh and enjoys sex.

Adele made her live comeback following surgery on a throat hemorrhage at the Grammy Awards, and credits Simon - who accompanied her to the event - for helping her recover from the major procedure.

In the interview with Vogue in December, the 23-year-old describes how she "cried a lot", while acknowledging that "crying is really bad for your vocal cords too", and probably didn’t help.

The Set Fire to the Rain singer swept the Grammys, winning among others, Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

But perhaps her greatest reward was the standing ovation she received as she performed Rolling in the Deep - the first time she’d taken to the stage since last October, before her throat surgery.

Adele’s recuperation following her November surgery helped her to regain perspective on her career.

She told Vogue, "It was so fast-paced I could hardly ever remember the bulk of my day. I think I just needed to be silenced.

"And when you are silent, everyone around you is silent. So the noise in my life just stopped. It was like floating in the sea for the weeks. It was brilliant."
