Adele has revealed that she will be taking an indefinite hiatus from music after finishing her Las Vegas residency later this year.
This announcement follows her recent Munich residency, which concluded on Saturday. The singer let fans know that her “Weekends With Adele” shows in Las Vegas, which will run from October 25 to November 23, will be her last performances for the foreseeable future.
In a heartfelt message, Adele shared, “I’ve truly enjoyed performing… it’s been three years now, which is the longest I’ve ever done and likely the longest I’ll ever do.
With only 10 shows left in my Las Vegas residency, after that, I won’t be seeing you for a very long time, and I’ll hold you dear in my heart throughout my break.”
She expressed deep appreciation for the experiences she’s had, noting, “I’ll treasure these shows and every performance I’ve done over the past three years, keeping them close to my heart forever. It’s been an amazing journey, but I need some rest.”
The emotional announcement comes as Adele prepares to end her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. This engagement, which began in November 2022, will conclude with her final set of 10 shows, bringing her total to 100 performances despite some rescheduled dates and adjustments.
Adele’s decision to take a break aligns with earlier statements she made about stepping away from performing and recording.
In a July interview with German outlet ZDF, she indicated 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 explore other creative avenues, just for a little while,” she said.
