Why we will have to do without Adele for "an incredibly long time"
On August 31, Adele surprised her fans by announcing a long break from her music career. During her concert in Munich, Germany, the British singer expressed her desire to actually "live the life" she has built over the past seven years, according to music site Pitchfork.
"I've enjoyed performing for almost three years, but I need a break," Adele said emotionally on stage. She added that she would take a long time away from music after finishing her residency in Las Vegas.
Adele mentioned that although the Las Vegas residency has been a success, she feels that the time has come to take a break. "I will remember it forever," she said, referring to her time on stage.
The British singer made it clear that she won't be returning to the stage for an "incredibly long time", according to Pitchfork. The singer expressed her gratitude to all her fans for the support they have given her throughout her career.
Her concert in Munich would have been the last of the tour. However, as she had to reschedule some dates of her Las Vegas residency due to illness, she still had ten more concerts left before her long-awaited break, E! News calculated.
According to the E! News report, Adele's personal life seems to be one of the main reasons for her temporary retirement. The British singer said she had spent the last few years building a new life and she now wants to fully enjoy it.
Part of the new chapter she is experiencing has to do with sports agent Rich Paul. According to E! News, the singer confirmed her engagement to Paul on August 9 during one of her concerts. The couple has been in a relationship since 2021.
The singer also spoke openly about her desire to expand her family. Adele is the mother of 11-year-old Angelo from her relationship with ex-husband Simon Konecki.
"I definitely would like a couple more kids. It would be wonderful if we can," she said in an interview with BBC Radio. "If not, I've got Angelo. I just want to be happy."
The Munich concert, meant to be the last of her tour, was a special one for Adele. It took place in an arena with a capacity of 80,000 people, created exclusively for her, according to Pitchfork.
After her fourth album, '30', released in 2021, Adele gave almost three years of uninterrupted performances. Her break from the stage truly marks the end of an era for the singer and her fans.
