During her highly anticipated concert in Munich, Germany, last night, Adele announced plans for a substantial break following her current residency. The emotional pop superstar expressed to her audience, “I just need a rest. I’ve spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now.”
Adele went on to share her deep appreciation for her fans, stating, “Everyone who’s ever come to any one of my shows, thank you so much for coming. I’m not the most comfortable performer, I know that, but I am very good at it, and I’ve truly enjoyed performing for nearly three years now, which is the longest I’ve ever done and probably the longest I will ever do. I have 10 shows left in my residency, but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time. I will hold you dear in my heart during that break. I want to embrace my new life, and I’ll miss you terribly, but I’ll remember these shows for eternity.”
The Munich concert was initially set to be the final performance of Adele’s tour, but due to a few rescheduled dates, she will now conclude her tour with remaining shows in Las Vegas in November. The British artist performed at a specially constructed arena in Munich Messe, accommodating 80,000 fans, designed exclusively for her headlining performances there. Adele described her Munich mini-residency as “a bit random, but still fabulous!”
Adele’s latest album, 30, was released in 2021 and has received widespread acclaim.
