Historically the Bond producers leave the theme until the last minute so it is very hard to tell if there is anything to these rumours in the first place. After the April Fools Day gag by the Sun about Craig supposedly opening the Olympics was taken so seriously by the rest of the medial blindly repeating it seems best to take all these rumours with a grain of salt.

Adele Hints Again At James Bond Skyfall Theme Role
She says a new song will be with us in 2012
Adele has suggested that she will release a brand new song by the end of the year, further strengthening rumours she will record the official theme song for the next James Bond film.
Speaking to French radio station NRJ over the weekend, Adele discussed the future of her career and rumours that she may take five years out to make the follow up to her album ’21’.
Denying this, Adele said: “I’m not going on a break for that long! I have to write another record, if I didn’t write my own songs i’d be out next week with a new album, but because I write my own songs I have to take time and live a little bit. There was a good two years between my first and second album, so it will be the same this time.”
“There will be a new song probably coming out at the end of the year, and then it depends how quickly I write some new songs – but it won’t be for a good two years.”
Adele previously suggested she might be making the official Skyfall theme during an interview with Jonathan Ross last year.
Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Adele has lost over a stone in weight since she turned vegetarian at the start of the year.
Re: Bond opening the Olympics. Why not have Sherlock Holmes and Boudica parachute down instead?
Official denial of a singer being chosen although Craig did make an Adele comment adding to the speculation.
“HitFix visited the set of “Skyfall” in London last week and asked Broccoli and 007 himself, Daniel Craig, if Adele’s participation was in the works.
Broccoli smiles and says, “We haven’t picked a song yet or anyone to sing it.”
Craig raises an eyebrow and adds, “How about Adele?”
“You know, she’s wonderful; we love her,” Broccoli says. “So, it’ll be great if she would do it, but we haven’t got any — we haven’t made any decision yet.”
And teasingly, Broccoli makes sure to add, “Watch this space.””
