Adele has announced that she will be taking a significant break from music following the conclusion of her Las Vegas residency. The singer shared the news with fans over the weekend through a heartfelt TikTok video recorded during one of her performances in Munich, Germany. In the clip, Adele expressed her intention to step away from the limelight after completing her remaining shows.
“I have 10 shows to do, but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart,” Adele said, reflecting on the end of her residency.
The announcement has elicited a strong reaction from fans, who have flooded social media with their responses. Comments ranged from pleas for Adele to stay, such as “Please don’t leave us,” to supportive messages like, “Good for her! Enjoy your break Adele.”
Speculation has arisen regarding the reasons behind Adele’s break, with many fans suggesting that she might be focusing on her personal life, particularly her engagement to sports agent Rich Paul. Adele confirmed her engagement to the 42-year-old Paul during one of her shows in Munich last month. She had previously hinted at her plans for a break when she told German outlet ZDF in July, “I don’t have any plans for new music at all. I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”
Adele’s residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which began in November 2022, will conclude with her final performance scheduled for November 23. Her last album, 30, was released in 2021, and she typically releases a new album every few years.
Rich Paul Celebrates Birthday with Vibrant Instagram Post
In related news, Rich Paul recently celebrated his birthday with a series of highlights shared on Instagram. The post included photos of Paul enjoying his day, including moments with Adele, who is known for her Grammy-winning music career. The images featured Paul smiling and posing with Adele, as well as enjoying activities like rolling dice and cruising in a sleek convertible.
In his Instagram caption, Paul reflected on his life journey with a message of resilience and positivity. He wrote, “Smile and enjoy life’s ride, the critics will always critique what’s unique. No need to invest in the camera’s flash—it doesn’t last; just let the dice roll. The winners’ circle is colored in with losses and comebacks. The weight is carried on the back of the mentally strong and God’s chosen. There’s wisdom amongst the young and the old. I’ve gone up and down and around 43 times, and what I’ve learned most is NEVER FOLD!!!!”
Adele has also been making headlines for more than just her music. In a recent show during her Vegas residency, she referred to herself as Paul’s “wife” while discussing sports, despite the couple not officially confirming their relationship status. Adele’s playful comment about not being the greatest wife due to her lack of interest in American football further fueled speculation about their personal lives.
As Adele prepares to wind down her residency and take a break, fans and followers eagerly await her next move and look forward to her return to the music scene in the future.
