Adele appears to be on the road to recovery after undergoing throat surgery for a problem that threatened the singer's voice.
A vocal cord haemorrhage saw Adele cancel all her planned tour dates and public appearances for the remainder of 2011.
The Someone Like You singer was snapped smiling and looking slimmer on Tuesday, as she chatted to a friend outside her London home.
Although she hid beneath an oversized navy sweater that reached her knees, the 23-year-old appeared to have lost weight as she carried her dog in a bag under her arm.
Adele has had some good news to boost her spirits this week, as she continues to recover from vocal chord surgery - it was announced her album 21 has become the biggest-selling album of the century. Shifting the late Amy Winehouse's Back To Black from the top spot.
