Adele Reveals That She Will Be Taking An “Incredibly Long” Break From Music

During the final night of her 10-show residency in Munich, Germany on Saturday night (August 31), Adele shared from the stage that the concert would be one of her final live performances for quite some time. The 16-time Grammy Winner still has 10 shows scheduled as part of her Weekends With Adele residency in Las Vegas, which will run from October 25-November 23, but following those performances, Adele will be taking a prolonged break from music. “I have 10 shows left after this, back in my residency [in Las Vegas] — but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time,” Adele said while fighting back tears during her final Munich show. “I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break, and I will fantasize about these shows and any shows that I’ve done over the last three years. It has been amazing, I just need a rest. I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now. I want to live my new life that I’ve been building.” (Consequence of Sound)
