Adele has announced that she will be taking an extended break from performing after wrapping up her European tour with a final show in Munich, Germany. The 36-year-old singer, who has been relentlessly touring for the past few years, shared with her fans that she feels the need to rest and focus on her personal life. She revealed that she has spent the last seven years building a new life and now wants to take time to live it.

During her final show in Munich, Adele expressed her gratitude to her fans for their support, acknowledging that this was the longest tour she had ever done. She mentioned that although her time on stage had been challenging at times, she had truly enjoyed performing and would treasure these moments forever. However, after completing a few more shows in Las Vegas that had been postponed due to her earlier health issues, Adele stated that she would be stepping away from the stage for a significant period.

Adele’s European tour was a huge success, with her record-breaking 10-date stint in Munich drawing over 730,000 attendees—making it the largest concert series held outside of Las Vegas. These performances were staged in a temporary arena with a capacity of over 73,000, further highlighting the scale of her success.

In addition to her touring announcement, Adele also confirmed her engagement to sports agent Rich Paul, whom she has been dating since 2021. She shared this personal milestone during a show earlier this month, responding to a fan’s marriage proposal by revealing that she was already engaged to Paul. The couple’s relationship has been a source of joy for Adele, especially after her split from charity boss Simon Konecki in 2019.

Adele wrapped up her announcement by telling the crowd how much she would miss them and expressing her hope to see them again in Las Vegas. She made it clear that this was not a goodbye forever, but rather a necessary break to focus on herself and her personal life, which she has been nurturing in recent years.

Having first gained fame with her debut album 19 in 2008, Adele has since become a global sensation with albums like 21, 25, and 30. Her latest album marked her long-awaited return after a five-year hiatus. Fans can expect her Las Vegas residency to continue through November this year before she fully retreats from the spotlight to recharge and enjoy her life outside of music.
