English
singer/songwriter
Adele
will
take
a
long
break
from
music
after
her
Weekends
with
Adele
residency
show
in
Las
Vegas
on
November
23.

This
will
be
her
fans
last
chance
to
catch
the
singer’s
long-running
stay-put
show
before
she
goes
away
for
a
while.

Speaking
to
Germany’s
ZDF
and
reported
by
Billboard.com,
Adele,
36,
dropped
the
shocking
news,
“I
don’t
have
any
plans
for
new
music
at
all.”
In
fact,
the
star
who
said
she
“doesn’t
like
being
famous,”
added,
“I
want
a
big
break
after
this
and
I
think
I
want
to
do
other
creative
things,
just
for
a
little
while.”

Adele
started
her
Weekends
run
show
in
November
2022
and
plans
to
call
the
show
at
The
Colosseum
at
Caesars
Palace
quits
with
her
final
scheduled
performance
on
Nov.
23.

Before
her
hiatus
from
music,
she
will
play
a
series
of
gigs
in
Munich
at
a
specially
built
80,000-capacity
venue
on
August
2,
3,
9,
10,
14,
16,
23,
24,
30
and
31.

She
said
that
the
run
of
100
live
shows
over
the
past
two
years
have
left
her
feeling
as
if
her
“tank
is
quite
empty.”

After
announcing
the
initial
run
of
Munich
shows,
Adele
wrote
on
Instagram,
“So
a
few
months
ago
I
got
a
call
about
a
summer
run
of
shows.
I’ve
been
content
as
anything
with
my
shows
in
London’s
Hyde
Park
and
my
residency
in
Vegas,
so
I
hadn’t
had
any
other
plans.

However,
I
was
too
curious
to
not
follow
up
and
indulge
in
this
idea

a
one
off,
bespoke
pop-up
stadium
designed
around
whatever
show
I
want
to
put
on.”

The
singer

who
has
not
gone
on
a
world
tour
since
her
2016-2017
run
in
support
of
her
25
album

has
made
a
habit
of
taking
time
for
herself
between
albums
and
tours.

Those
stretches
out
of
the
public
eye
have
increased
over
time,
from
three
years
between
her
2008
debut,
19,
and
2011’s
21,
to
four
years
until
her
2015
LP
25
and
six
between
that
album
and
2021’s
30.

Back
in
December,
the
mother
of
11-year-old
song
Angelo
told
The
Hollywood
Reporter,”I
have
nothing
to
say
yet.
I
haven’t
even
thought
about
it…
I
have
to
wait
for
a
feeling.

If
I
get
antsy,
that’s
when
I
know
I
have
to
go
to
the
studio,
and
I
am
the
opposite
of
antsy
right
now.”

Speaking
of
new
endeavors,
in
that
same
interview,
Adele
said
that
there
was
one
unnamed
movie
she
wants
to
do,
but,
“the
guy
whose
movie
it
would
be,
he’s
not
mentally
ready
to
write
the
script
for
it…
I
bug
him
every
now
and
then
about
it,
but
he’s
just
not
there
yet.
But
that’s
the
only
role
I
ever
want.
Because
I
think
I’d
nail
it.
I
think
I’d
do
really,
really,
really
good
at
it.”

Then,
in
January
during
one
of
her
Weekends
shows,
Adele
told
the
audience
“I
just
don’t
think
I’m
gonna
write
an
album
for
quite
some
time,”
teasing
that
when
she
does
she
may
be
ready
to
hit
the
road
properly
again.

At
a
press
conference,
a
spokesperson
for
Adele
had
not
returned
Billboard‘s
request
for
additional
comment
on
her
future
plans.
