Adele has revealed she will be taking a significant break from the spotlight after her Las Vegas residency ends this November. During a concert in Munich, the 36-year-old singer shared the news with her audience, telling them that after completing her final 10 shows in Vegas, she plans to step away for a long time. In a heartfelt message, she said, “I have 10 shows to do, but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart.”
Fans were quick to express their sorrow online, while also acknowledging that Adele is known for her extended breaks between projects. One fan commented, “This is what Adele does. Disappears, then comes out with a banger,” referencing her six-year hiatus between her albums *25* and *30*.
Adele’s Weekends with Adele residency, which started in November 2022, will conclude with 10 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from October 25 to November 23. These dates were initially scheduled for March but had to be postponed due to Adele needing vocal rest after falling ill. She explained in February that she had been sick during the previous leg of the residency and needed to take a break.
Earlier this year, Adele wrapped up a residency in Munich on August 31. This marked her first performances in mainland Europe since 2016. During her summer tour, she told a German outlet that she does not have any plans for new music anytime soon. Instead, she’s focusing on taking a break and exploring other creative pursuits. “I don’t have any plans for new music, at all,” she said, expressing a desire to step away from music for a while and try her hand at different endeavors.
In addition to her professional news, Adele also seemed to confirm her engagement to sports executive Rich Paul during a concert in August. When a fan joked about marrying her, Adele responded, “I can’t marry you, I’m already getting married,” hinting at the couple’s relationship status. The two first made headlines in July 2021 when they were spotted together at an NBA Finals game, sparking rumors of their romance.
Fans are bracing themselves for Adele’s hiatus, unsure when she’ll return to the stage or whether new music will follow anytime soon. For now, the singer is focused on completing her Las Vegas residency and taking time to recharge before embarking on the next chapter of her career.
