Adele Announces Indefinite Music Break After Upcoming Vegas Residency

Much to the upset of her loyal fans, Adele has confirmed she’s preparing to take a hard-earned break.

As the Grammy Award winner wrapped up her Munich residency on Saturday, Adele announced that following her upcoming Las Vegas return, she will be taking an indefinite hiatus from performing.

“But after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart,” she said in a TikTok clip from the show.

The announcement comes ahead of her return to the ‘Weekends with Adele’ Las Vegas residency, running from Oct. 25 to Nov. 23. Two years into the ongoing residency, Adele said in July that she plans to take a break after the upcoming run of shows.

“I don’t have any plans for new music at all,” she told Germany’s ZDF public broadcast service. “I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”

Adele — who dropped her last album 30 back in 2021 — kicked off her Munich residency in early August, performing two shows a week throughout the month. The venue also featured Adele World, an outside experience for ticket holders with a ferris wheel, an authentic English pub and an ‘I Drink Wine’ bar.

Earlier in the residency, she announced her engagement to sports agent Rich Paul while responding to a fan’s “marry me” sign. “I can’t marry you – because I’m already getting married!” she said during her Aug. 9 show.
