Adele is saying goodbye to the stage, at least for a while! During a recent performance in Munich, Germany, the singer revealed that she is planning an extended break after her Las Vegas residency ends. A fan shared a video on TikTok, in which Adele, who has been collecting record-breaking album sales, made the announcement that her shows are coming to an end, and she will be out of the spotlight for a considerable period of time.
“I have 10 more shows to do, but after that, I won’t see you for a long time. You will be kept in my heart.“, said Adele, moving the audience.
Las Vegas
Adele’s residency at The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas kicks off in November 2022. She had originally announced the residency for 2021, but surprised and disappointed her fans by postponing the entire tour months later. In an emotional video, the “Rolling in the Deep” singer explained that the caliber of the show wasn’t up to scratch and that she and her team wouldn’t be ready to start on time.
Despite the delay, the shows finally got underway and were such a success that Adele extended the dates to 2023 and then again through most of 2024. Her final shows are scheduled to take place from October 25 to November 23 this year.
Parallel planes
In July, the Grammy winner revealed to German public broadcaster ZDF that she is considering pursuing other creative pursuits.I have no plans to release new music. I want to take a big break after this and I think I want to explore other creative areas, just for a while.“, shared Adele.
She also said that she doesn’t like fame, even though she loves making music. Earlier this year, the “Hello” singer spoke about the pressures of being a public figure and how it affects her. During a concert in February, Adele discussed photos taken of her at an NBA game, where she appeared upset. She explained that she wasn’t happy that people were filming her against her will and that she doesn’t like being famous.
Explaining the meme
“Do you remember that viral meme of me looking like I don’t give a shit?“, Adele asked the audience, referring to the photos taken in February 2022, during the NBA All-Star Game. She made a face imitating the expression that became famous in the photos, drawing laughter from the audience.
Adele explained that she was upset about being filmed in the game, even after asking not to be.The reason I looked like my lips had fillers – because my lips are naturally big, I don’t need fillers – was because I was sulking, thinking, ‘These bastards are filming me against my will. ‘“, she said, according to the video recorded by fans.
She added that she didn’t know they were broadcasting it live on TV and thought it was just a local shoot.I was ignoring it, looking everywhere but at the camera because I was so annoyed, since I asked not to be filmed, but I guess I was a bit contradictory by going to the event. Plus, my face is naturally memeable, I can’t help it“, joked the singer.
