From hello to goodbye.
Adele is taking a lengthy break from her music career. The 36-year-old shared her decision on stage at her concert in Munich, Germany on Aug. 31, telling the crowd that once she’s done with her Las Vegas residency shows, she plans to step away from the stage.
“I’ve really enjoyed performing,” the “Easy on Me” singer said in a moment captured on TikTok. “It’s been three years now, which is the longest I’ve done and probably the longest I’ll ever do.”
Noting that she’s got 10 shows left in her Vegas residency after missing several due to illness, the fifteen-time Grammy winner continued, “But after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time and I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break.”
Expressing her gratitude, Adele added that she will “fantasize” about her time on stage amid her hiatus, adding, “I just need a rest.”
