Adele has revealed that she plans to take an extended break after wrapping up her long-running Las Vegas residency, “Weekends With Adele,” later this month. The singer, who started the residency two years ago at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, made it clear that she has no intention of staying on stage indefinitely. At a recent performance, Adele told the audience, “This really is the beginning of the end. There are no other fucking shows,” confirming that her 100th and final show will take place the weekend before Thanksgiving. She emphasized, “I’m not going to be like, ‘Surprise!’ This is the end.”

Reflecting on her time in Las Vegas, Adele shared how much the residency had impacted her life, saying it made her life “a thousand times better,” not just her career or music. She expressed feeling a deep sense of loss as the residency comes to an end, calling it her “best friend” throughout this transformative period in her life. “I’m so genuinely sad,” she added, highlighting the emotional connection she felt with her audience and the experience.

In September, Adele confirmed that she would be stepping away from the spotlight for an indefinite period, explaining that her fans wouldn’t hear from her “for an incredibly long time.” She explained that over the last seven years, she had worked on building a new life for herself, and now she was ready to live it fully. She also made it clear that she had no plans for new music anytime soon, saying she wanted a significant break to explore other creative endeavors.

Adele also touched on her personal life during her residency, revealing her engagement to sports agent Rich Paul and expressing her desire to have another child. The news of her final concert led to skyrocketing ticket prices, as fans scrambled for a chance to see her last performance before her hiatus.

The singer also shared a heartwarming moment from a recent show where she embraced Meryl Streep, dressed as her character from Death Becomes Her. Adele also spoke about a particularly emotional exchange she had with Celine Dion during one of her performances, describing it as a “full circle moment” that deeply moved her, as Dion’s residency at Caesars Palace had inspired Adele to pursue her own.
