Adele has announced that she will be taking a “major break” from music after her upcoming shows.
The “Set Fire to the Rain” singer, 36, who has performed weekend residencies in Las Vegas for the past two years, will begin a 10-date run in Munich, Germany, in August.
After her residency ends, Adele said she wants to take some time off from the music industry to pursue other creative projects.
“At the moment my energy tank is empty. I have no plans for new music whatsoever,” Adele told German broadcaster ZDF.
The Grammy winner continued, “Once all of this is over, I want to take a big break and just do some other creative things for a little while.”
“I actually never sing at home,” she added. “Isn't that strange?”
Adele admitted that while her sold-out show at the 4,000-capacity Caesars Palace was a success, it also took a toll on her health.

“Even though the audience size was very small, it was a really emotional interaction,” she said of the show.
The British singer's resident show, “Weekend with Adele,” has been running at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas since November 2022 and is due to finish in November this year.
“I'm sure I'll feel that way after every show in Munich, but it's a positive thing. It's really an exchange of energy.”
The “Hello” singer also said she misses her life before she became a global celebrity. “I miss everything before I was famous, but I think I miss being unknown the most,” she said.

“I'm happy that I can make music whenever I want and people accept it and like it, which is really inconceivable. But I absolutely hate the fame aspect of it.”
She continued, “The fact that people are interested in my songs and my voice is pretty wild. I don't think it'll ever be the norm, so it's worth having a balance.”
