Adele's emotional farewell: Singer announces career hiatus

At the beginning of August, Adele started her brief "residency" in Munich, performing ten concerts. Each one was met with immense interest from fans, and securing last-minute tickets was nearly impossible. It's no wonder, as Adele isn't one of the singers who tour regularly. One of the concerts in Germany was even attended by an aesthetic medicine doctor, who later speculated on the treatments the artist might have undergone.

Even before the tour began, Adele announced that she planned to take a longer break. As she admitted, she missed anonymity and her pre-fame life.

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 - she said in an interview with the German TV station ZDF.

It looks like the singer intends to keep her word. She confirmed this during the last concert in Germany, held on 31st August. In videos shared on TikTok, it's clear that talking about taking a break from her career was challenging for her. At the same time, a smile appeared on her face, suggesting she was genuinely happy about having time to rest and focus on her family.

I’ve got 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 – she began, her voice breaking.

Did you expect such a decision? Faithful fans of the artist are, of course, devastated by her decision, as expressed in the comments under the TikTok posts. However, some realise that Adele needs a break.

I love her so much! Her decision made me very sad; Seeing her was a dream come true; I'm crying that I won't see her for the next few years!; It's clear that this was a difficult decision for her, a great shame, but she clearly needs a break - they wrote.
