During her headlining show in Munich, Germany, last night (August 31), Adele revealed that she’s going on a lengthy “break” following the end of her ongoing residency. “I just need a rest,” the visibly emotional singer said to the crowd while still onstage. “I’ve spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now.”
Adele continued: “Everyone who’s ever come to any one of my shows ever, thank you so much for coming. I’m not the most comfortable performer, I know that, but I am very fucking good at it and I’ve really enjoyed performing for nearly three years now, which is the longest I’ve ever done and probably the longest I would ever do. I have 10 shows left after this, back in my residency… but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break… I want to live my new life that I’ve been building. I’ll miss you terribly, but I’ll remember these shows for eternity.”
Saturday night’s Munich concert was originally planned to be the final show of Adele’s tour, but a handful of rescheduled dates means she will now conclude the run with her Las Vegas residency in November. The British singer performed at a custom-built arena in Munich Messe that held 80,000 people and was exclusively created for her special headlining shows there. On social media, Adele called the Munich mini-residency “a bit random, but still fabulous!”
Adele’s fourth and most recent album, 30, came out in 2021. Read about it on “The 50 Best Albums of 2021.”
