Adele announced that she will take an indefinite break from music after completing her Las Vegas residency later this year. Soon after wrapping up her Munich residency on Saturday, August 31, she informed fans that they wouldn't hear from her again until after her Weekends With Adele shows in Las Vegas finishes this fall.
Adele Announces Long Break From Music
"I have enjoyed performing and it's been three years now, which is the longest I have done and probably the longest I will ever do. But I have 10 shows left after this, back in my (Las Vegas) residency after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time but will always hold you dear in my heart for the whole length of my break," Adele said.
She added, "And I will fantasise about these shows and any other show that I've done over the last three years, and I'll hold them in my heart forever. It has always been amazing, I just need some rest now."
The singer who was visibly emotional onstage, said, "I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now. I want to live the life that I've been building and I will miss you terribly."
Adele's Munich Residency, which started on August 2 at the Messe Munchen open-air venue, was her first performance in mainland Europe since 2016, according to the residency's website.
Adele wants to focus on 'other creative things'
Since her Las Vegas residency, which began in November 2022, will conclude with her final 10 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from October 25 to November 23. By the end of this run, Adele would have completed 100 shows, despite some rescheduled dates and adjustments.
Her residency started in November 2022 and, by the time it ends this fall, she will have performed 100 shows in total, despite a few hiccups and rescheduled dates.
This announcement follows her previous statements about taking a break from performing and recording. In a July interview with German outlet ZDF, Adele revealed her intention to focus on "other creative things" during her hiatus." I don't have any plans for new music at all. I want a big break after this, and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while," she told the outlet.
Although, Adele is not the first singer to have done this. There have always been singers who have dealt with challenges and reflected on the value of breaks in their lives like Tenor James Pike who took a yearlong break after a string of challenging and discouraging performance experiences during the 2021–2022 season, when he was plagued with anxiety.
While most of the singers continued to do some light singing during their breaks, even as they put their career pursuits on hold. Singers have found their breaks to be valuable rather than being difficult for them. As Camafreita claims that the required break was necessary for her sanity, but she missed singing.
