Adele's secret spy

Adele

BOND bosses are being more secretive than MI6 over who will sing over the closing credits of the latest 007 flick Skyfall.

But Adele is definitely the front-runner for the gig. She visited Abbey Road studios earlier this month, where the soundtrack is being put together.

She first hinted that she’d been offered the 007 spot in a chat with Jonathan Ross last year.

Soon after that Adele started preliminary sessions with producer Paul Epworth.

Her visit to the historic Abbey Road facilities suggests she’s been recording with Thomas Newman, the man director Sam Mendes has hired to take charge of the Bond music.

Thomas, who has worked on movies including The Shawshank Redemption and Wall-E, has been holed up at the London studios all month working on the score for the film, which hits cinemas next month.

It will be interesting to see what he and Adele come up with.
