British superstar Adele has announced that she will be taking a “long time career break” following her successful journey as a global musician and performer. After her final performance in Munich, the Grammy-winning artist expressed deep gratitude to her fans for their support and shared that she needs to rest and take some personal time after spending seven years building a new life for herself.
The 36-year-old London-born singer rose to international fame with her second album, “21,” which earned her first Grammy and topped charts worldwide. With over 16 Grammy awards and 25 nominations to her name, Adele plans to wrap up her two-year Las Vegas residency in November 2024, marking the end of her shows. She mentioned during her final show in Munich that she has enjoyed performing for nearly three years, but it is probably the longest she ever will.
Adele’s last album, “30,” released in 2021, won the Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance and earned six nominations in other categories. The album became the biggest-selling album in the US within a day of its release, with the hit single “Easy on Me” reaching the top of charts in the UK and US. Adele announced in July that she would be taking a “big break” to explore other creative ventures and emphasized that she has no immediate plans for new music. She has been performing on weekends since November 2022 and will conclude her shows on November 23, 2024.
The announcement of Adele’s career break comes shortly after her engagement to Rich Paul, whom she has been dating since 2021 following her divorce from Simon Konecki. The couple shares one child together. Adele plans to take time off to rest and live her new life after dedicating herself to her music career for so many years. She expressed her love and gratitude to her fans and promised to hold them dear to her heart during the length of her break. Adele’s incredible talent and soulful R&B hits have left a mark on the music industry, and fans will eagerly wait to see what the future holds for the talented singer.
