Adele Announces Hiatus from Music After Las Vegas Residency

Adele, the renowned British singer-songwriter, has announced she will be taking a substantial break from her music career once her Las Vegas residency concludes this fall. The 36-year-old made this emotional announcement during a concert in Munich, Germany, on August 31, marking the end of an intense three-year period of touring and performances.

Adele's Heartfelt Announcement to Fans

During the concert, Adele shared with the audience, "I've really enjoyed performing. It's been three years now, which is the longest I've done and probably the longest I'll ever do." Her words, captured on TikTok, reflect both her love for performing and her desire for a much-needed hiatus.

She continued, "But after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break." Adele explained that while she cherishes her time on stage, she needs to step back and rest, emphasizing, "I just need a rest."

A New Chapter in Adele’s Life

Adele has spent the last seven years building a new life and expressed her intention to enjoy it fully during this break. "I want to live my life that I've been building, and I will miss you terribly," she told the crowd. Her decision to step away may also relate to her recent engagement to sports agent Rich Paul. The couple went public with their relationship in 2021, and Adele confirmed their engagement earlier this month during another concert in Munich.

Adele is also a mother to 11-year-old Angelo, whom she shares with her ex-husband Simon Konecki. The singer has expressed interest in expanding her family, sharing in a July 2022 interview with BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, "I definitely would like a couple more kids. It would be wonderful. If not, I've got Angelo."
