The `Someone Like You` hitmaker is tired of dealing with traffic when she commutes from her rented £15,000 a month country estate in Sussex, South East England, and has decided to make flying her primary form of transport if a chopper can land in the grounds.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Adele`s property has so much land she thought, `Why not?`

"It will cut down her journey time by some distance and it also means she won`t have to rely so heavily on cars. She is a busy woman and needs to get places with minimal disruption."

Until she moved into the palatial pad - which 10 bedrooms, two swimming pools, a helipad cellar, tennis courts, a games room and its own media centre - Adele had been living with her mother in Tottenham, north London.

She has previously said: "After my first record I moved out of my mum`s to Notting Hill on my own.

"My life fell apart. My phone got cut off, my credit card got cut off, the house was a mess. It was awful.

"I couldn`t function without my mum so I moved back in with her. I`d rather be defeated than one day come in and the rats would be eating me. It was basically a bedsit with walls."
