Star singer Adele has announced that she will be taking a break from music, much to the dismay of her fans.
During a recent performance in Munich, the Skyfall hitmaker shared the news of her upcoming hiatus, as reported by Fox News.
“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,” Adele told the audience. The heartfelt announcement has left her fans deeply emotional, with many expressing their sadness on social media.
Clips from the concert quickly surfaced online, showing Adele informing her audience about the upcoming break. Fans took to social media to react, with one user on X (formerly Twitter) writing, “Come back with a bang Adele.” Another fan shared, “Watching Adele live is literally my life’s purpose. I will see you queen, however long it takes.”
Adele has been performing her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace since November 2022. The residency was initially announced in 2021, but Adele later postponed the tour, citing that the show’s quality wasn’t up to her standards. In an emotional video, she explained to fans that she and her crew wouldn’t be ready to begin on time, leading to the delay.
Her final shows in Las Vegas are scheduled to run from October 25 through November 23 this year.
Earlier this year, Adele opened up about the pressures of fame during one of her concerts. She addressed a viral meme from photos taken at the 2022 NBA All-Star Game, where she appeared unhappy. “Do you remember that viral meme of me looking like I don’t give a flying f—?” she asked the audience, mimicking the expression she made in the photos.
Adele explained that she was frustrated because people were filming her without her consent. “The reason I looked like my lips had filler—because I got naturally big lips, right, I don’t need filler—the reason I looked like a different person was because I was sulking, because I was like ‘these motherf—ers have come back and are filming me against my will,'” she said in a fan-recorded video.
She also added, “I didn’t realize they were airing it on TV, I thought it was just in the room.”
Adele’s last album, 30, was released in 2021, and her decision to take a break has left fans eagerly anticipating her return.
