Adele shocked fans at her Munich concert on August 31, revealing plans to take a lengthy break from touring and making music. The singer, wrapping up her European shows, confessed, “I will not see you for an incredibly long time” after her remaining 10 shows.
Adele, 36, reflected on her career, saying, “I’m not the most comfortable performer, but I am very fucking good at it.” She expressed gratitude for her three-year touring streak, the longest in her career, and hinted it might be her last.
The reason for the break? Adele wants to live the new life she’s built, saying, “I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now.”
