Adele Announces ‘Incredibly Long’ Hiatus After Las Vegas Residency Ends
|Adele has been on a high this year with her incredible residency shows, leaving audiences in tears and speechless with her mesmerizing vocals. However, the 36-year-old singer recently announced that she plans to take a hiatus after her Las Vegas shows wrap up in November.
In a TikTok video, the “Someone Like You” singer shared, “I have 10 shows left, but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time. I will hold you dear in my heart throughout my break, and I will cherish these shows and all the ones I’ve done over the past three years. They will stay in my heart forever.”
In July, Adele told ZDF, “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.”
Originally, the “Set Fire to the Rain” singer was set to begin her hiatus after her Munich shows ended on Saturday, August 31. However, her Las Vegas shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, now rescheduled to start on October 25, were postponed from March due to the toll the performances had taken on her voice, requiring more time for recovery.
In February, she shared on Instagram, “Unfortunately, I have to pause my Vegas residency. I was unwell at the end of the last leg and throughout my break. I hadn’t fully recovered before the shows resumed, and now I’m sick again.”
Taking breaks in her music career isn’t new for Adele. She has previously taken time off between releasing her albums: *19* in 2008, *21* in 2011, *25* in 2015, and *30* in 2021, with gaps ranging from three to six years. During these breaks, she focuses on her personal life, which has inspired hits like “All I Ask,” “When We Were Young,” “Rolling in the Deep,” and more.
This news follows the singer’s appearance in Germany, where she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger during one of her shows. In a video shared on X, Adele revealed that she is “already getting married” to Rich Paul.
