Adele has no plans to release any new music anytime soon as she prepares to take a “big break.”
Following a show in Las Vegas in November, the 36-year-old superstar is planning to take it easy and spend quality time with his sports agent partner Rich Paul, 42, and his 11-year-old son Angelo, whom he has with ex-spouse Simon Konecki.
The “Hello” hitmaker was performing in Germany in Munich this summer and told German outlet ZDF: “I have no plans for new music whatsoever.
“After this I want to take a big break and do other creative things for a little while.”
Adele has made no secret that she wants to have another baby.
The “I Set Fire To The Rain” hitmaker previously confessed he's still a long way from heading back into the studio to work on his 2021 follow-up to “30,” but the Grammy winner, nervous about performing in front of large crowds, has promised to undertake a world tour when he returns with a new album.
“I don't think I'm going to make an album for a while,” she told the crowd at her regular “Weekends With Adele” show at the Caesars Palace Coliseum in Las Vegas earlier this year.
“But next time I'll come to where you live.”
The singer extended her Sin City show, reflecting on how performing and the intimate interaction with fans helped her “reconnect” with her music.
“I needed to reconnect with my songs and remember what they mean to me,” she posted on X last year. “And I did!”
“This past year has been such an unforgettable, amazing and restorative experience to be able to stand on stage for the first time in years and be so up close and personal with an audience. I will never forget the hilarious, soulful, wild and heartbreaking interactions we had. The looks on everyone's faces, laughing and crying together, singing our hearts out and stocking up on confetti bags. Shimi dolls, friendship bracelets, flowers, FaceTime calls and flags. I can't believe a show full of sad songs could be so much fun!”
The “Chasing Pavements” singer also explained why he took such an extended break from the public eye before releasing a new album.
She said: “I sometimes wonder if people think I'm a calculating person because I can disappear for years and be elusive and believe that less is more and stuff like that.”
But the real reason I only have four albums, and I don't think a lot of people know this, is because I have a child. My son is 11. So if you do the math, I got pregnant at 21. To a lot of people, that would be considered career suicide, and it was.
“That’s when I chose to reject the rarity of success and the idea that you have to be relevant all the time to be successful.
“And maybe, just maybe, I'll be popular on and off stage. And, you'd never guess, I'll [redacted] I managed to escape!”
