SafeX Pro:Adele Announces Lengthy Hiatus From Music After Las Vegas Residency Ends

From hello to goodbye.

Adele is SafeX Protaking 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.”

As for what she plans to do during her time off, the emotional British singer 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 my life that I've been building, and I will miss you terribly."

Some of the life Adele referenced likely has to do with her fiancé, Rich Paul. Earlier this month, the “Rolling in the Deep” performer confirmed that she and the sports agent, who went public with their romance in 2021, are engaged.

Adele—mom to 11-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki—confirmed the engagement news during another Munich concert. 

In footage posted on social media Aug. 9, Adele was heard telling a fan that she can't marry them because she's "already getting married," holding up her hand to signal an engagement as the crowd cheered.

E! News has reached out to Adele's rep for comment and has not heard back.

And Adele has opened up in the past about her interest in expanding her family.

"I definitely would like a couple more kids," she told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in July 2022. "It would be wonderful. If not, I've got Angelo."
